Getting Started
Think of MindPT as personal training for the mind. When you want to improve, its best to
work with a coach so that your time is spent most efficiently and effectively for the
greatest results. This little E-book is your personal MindPT coach!
If youre on the go and quickly want to customize your MindPT Session, check out our Top Tips
on Getting the Most Out of MindPT for a quick tutorial.
This E-book contains all of that information, and explores important concepts that go more indepth for anyone interested in optimizing their ability to create meaningful positive change in
any area of life. 70% of all personal change efforts FAIL because they do not effectively
address the real cause of a persons circumstances: their self-talk and their underlying beliefs.
MindPT changes that approach by easily and effortlessly creating new automatic thought habits
that literally automate your success in any area of life. It may just be the only personal
development book youll every need J
Use this handy guide to create your own MindPT practice. Refer to it anytime you need a
refresher on how to best customize any MindPT Session for your unique needs. Your needs will
evolve, so refer to this guide anytime you need to upgrade affirmations or add new images.
Watching a MindPT Session

Once you customize your MindPT Session, watching is as easy as pressing PLAY on your
desktop or mobile device.
As your Personal Power Video or Expert Session plays, you will notice a few things at the very
beginning: your name, and a few words urging you to take a few deep breaths, relax, focus,
think about what you are seeing, let yourself feel that this is already true for you, allow, and
enjoy.
Every MindPT Session will have these statements at the beginning. They are important,
because to get the most out of MindPT, you want to be in the right frame of mind. Your mind is
very open to new ideas when youre relaxed. When youre tense and stressed, your mind is
hyper-focused on the immediate problem, and is highly resistant to any new information,
especially information that might go against your conditioned beliefs. This E-book explains why
these statements are important and how you can use them to create massive success.

Tips for Success

Now, lets move on to how you can get the most out of each and every MindPT Session for
even faster and better results.
Tip #1
Think BIG!
Youre here because you want to achieve something either a state of being, or a situation, or a
physical thing. Whether youre looking for greater mental powers, self-confidence, help in
achieving a goal or just wanting to de-stress, you desire something different than what is.
The first step to achieving what you want is to be super clear on what you want. And then you
have to ask for it, through mental imagery, desire and the spoken word.
Being clear means putting together a compelling mental image (complete with feelings) that
describe your desire as though it were already accomplished. In large part, MindPT does that
for you with a compilation of images that inspire you, spark creativity and make you feel great
about your desires.
MindPT
Your desires can be as big as your imagination!

Theres no need to be conservative about your desires. Use the checklist to tick off all the boxes
that make up your ideal life as if there were no limitations, no lack of money, talent or time, and
no constraints. Choose the most delightful, delicious, rich, amazing, awe-inspiring images in all
areas of life - health, fitness, wealth, relationships, friendships, family, fun, career, purpose,
wellness, romance, holidays, travel, vacations, business, professional, bucket list
If you are feeling any resistance to this, thinking that you cant possibly achieve everything you
want, we challenge you to ask yourself, why not?
Think of it this way: anything that is created must first exist in the imagination. When you accept
your idea as normal and possible through the creation of new neural connections, you will feel
good about the idea, and youll act on the information that your heightened awareness presents
to you. In this way, you can achieve anything you set your mind to!
You can create as many targeted MindPT Sessions as you like, for specific areas of life: for
example, athletic performance, financial prosperity or relationships and love.
Or, you can lump all of your great desires into one grand Session that represents your ideal life.
Both approaches work! Targeted sessions get your brain to quickly form neural connections
based on that idea; the grand "Life Sessions" merge all of your desires, which allows success in
one area to positively impact success in another area.
Important: be sure to watch your Session(s) every day to create those strong new neural
connections. If your time is limited, just a few minutes spent on each Session you've created will
keep the momentum rolling.
What To Do When Youre Not Watching MindPT

Practice gratitude, and include your goals. When you think about what youre grateful for every
day, include your goal. Your brain cant tell whether youre grateful for something that you
already have, or something youre wishing for! Lump your goals in there with the everyday
things, relationships, situations and experiences you are already comfortable with; things you
know are yours.
MindPT
Tip #2
Allow Yourself the Time
Time is your most important resource. Real, lasting, and monumental change takes commitment
and consistency because it takes around a month for neural connections to strengthen into
automatic thought habits. The more positive and proactive thought habits you create (that are
aligned with your goals) the faster you will achieve what you desire.
The key is consistency.
Create your unique MindPT Personal Power Session, or choose a video from our extensive
Expert Sessions library, and watch it at least once every single day, if only for a few moments.
Consistency is essential. The term practice makes perfect is so very true, because you need
consistent repetition to create and strengthen neural connections!
You don't have to watch your MindPT Session(s) all in one sitting. Rather, you can schedule
some relaxation time, or watch on the fly for a few minutes; whatever your schedule allows,
watch your MindPT Session(s) in a way that is meaningful and enjoyable for you. Watch
anytime that is convenient. Even if it's in 2-minute clips! Breaking up the viewing into small
chunks will keep your goals "top of mind," giving your emerging neural connections the
repetition and reinforcement they need to become fast and efficient.
It is often more effective to watch MindPT Sessions in several short bursts, because our time
and attention spans are limited. To avoid feeling stressed, rushed, or to prevent any intrusive
negative or self-limiting thoughts, think of a MindPT Session as a mental break instead of a
chore.
BONUS: the MindPT app lets you watch any video in your library, at your convenience:
during your lunch hour, while waiting for an appointment, during TV commercials, riding
on the bus, before you drift off to sleep
Watching MindPT should not be a chore. Because it's fun and it feels good, and you can watch
anytime for as long or as little as you want, you will want to chill out for a while to this gorgeous
feast for the eyes and mind!
PRO TIP: Consistency is more important than duration. Whether you watch for an hour or
for one minute, daily watching will give you fast results.
MindPT

As you go about your day, youll have opportunities to think about your goals. Even for just a
moment, take the time to think about a goal and allow yourself to feel good about it - feeling
good just thinking about it, is enough!
If you have moments where you start to feel doubt or fear about your goal, acknowledge that
fear as a valuable self-preservation mechanism, but recognize that the fear is due to your
imagination focusing on what might go wrong. Thats the only reason youre feeling fear about
your goals! Watching MindPT Sessions retrains you to imagine what might go right - which is a
much nicer way to feel, and that feeling opens you up to being bold and innovative as you work
on your goals.
Tip #3
Take a Few Deep Breaths
For best results while watching for an extended period of time, treat MindPT as you would
meditation:
Get some exercise before you watch, if youre feeling energetic and need to release
some physical or emotional energy
Dont be too hungry or too full and take care of physical needs so that youre not
distracted
Get comfortable!
Just before you start, take a few deep breaths to relax your mind and ease any tension
you may be holding in your body.
PRO TIP: There are different ways to use MindPT! You can watch a MindPT Session when
youre stressed as a form of stress management. However, for best results in changing your
automatic thought habits, its best to watch when youre relaxed and calm.

When you think about your goal, breathe deeply. This will help relax your body (especially if
some doubt or uncertainty start to creep in).
MindPT
Tip #4
Relax
The more relaxed and joyful you are while watching your MindPT video, the more powerful the
experience and the results.
If youre not in the mood to watch MindPT or feel resistance like an urge to procrastinate,
remember, even a few minutes at a time are effective. Commit to just a few minutes every day
no matter what. You'll be glad you did! Its a quick pick-me-up when youre feeling blue, a way to
relax when youre stressed, and a self-esteem boost and dose of motivation when you need it.
PRO TIP: Enrich the process by relaxing into it and fully engaging in it emotionally,
mentally and physically. Whatever your personal or professional goals, you will benefit from
taking your focus away from "doing" (and worrying how you will achieve a goal) and shifting
your focus to allowing the ideas in the video to affect your other-than-conscious mind, effectively
priming you for action!
Prime yourself for the best experience by telling yourself that this will be a fun, relaxing break
(while at the same time being a powerful tool for personal change)! MindPT is not work (like
most personal development programs and products) - because all you do is relax and enjoy
MindPT
PRO TIP: Let MindPT do the work! Personal change doesnt have to involve hard work and
loads of time! You can do some amazingly fast and effective work just by watching a MindPT
Session, because the work is being done at the core level of your beliefs!
Relaxation and a happy mindset help you engage in the presentation and create the positive
emotions necessary to experience fast results.
PRO TIP: Work it out! If youre feeling especially stressed or upset, try exercising before you
watch to release any pent-up tension. It doesnt have to be much a brisk 15-minute walk will
clear your head and energize you. Put a big smile on your face while you walk, and then settle
down to watch MindPT in a better frame of mind.

Train yourself to notice what you want to experience. Train yourself to see possibilities where
others see problems. Notice empowering moments where others point out weaknesses. Actively
seek evidence of happiness and success, where others see misery and failure. Its all too easy
for the eye to be captivated by whats wrong, but that only serves to create dis-empowering and
self-limiting beliefs about what can go wrong, what might hurt, how people are bad, etc.
MindPT
Do you want to experience greater wealth? Notice people around you who appear wealthy.
Instead of judging them or feeling bad about yourself (through negative comparisons), learn
from them. Notice something that they are doing that youre not. Perhaps they take extra care in
how they dress (first impressions count!); perhaps their handshake is firm, their gaze is steady
and even if they dont feel confident, they smile and make eye contact. Perhaps they stay a little
longer, work a little harder, and do one percent more than you currently do. Perhaps they go the
extra mile in making someone feel appreciated. Perhaps they are generous with compliments,
attention, time or wisdom and if you see a wealthy person who is embodying negative
behavior, take that as a lesson too. It is not because they are wealthy that they behave this way,
it is because of their own inner pain. Their wealth has nothing to do with the way they treat
others. Money has a tendency to amplify ones automatic attitudes and behaviors, but it is not
the cause. Thank successful people for modeling the mindset and behavior that has
gotten them positive results.
Tip #5
Focus
Watching a MindPT Session is like meditation you are fully in the present, you are engaged in
the presentation and your thoughts arent wandering. There just isnt time for the mind to start
wandering or judging what youre seeing.
You can prime yourself for success and faster results by reminding yourself periodically to
remember every power statement you see your mind is taking everything in a lightning speed,
whether you are able to read every power statement in full or not. You can remind yourself to
remember the messages in the power statements later when youre not watching.
PRO TIP: Dont get frustrated! You will not be able to savor each image, and there will be
some affirmations that you wont be able to read. Thats okay. You are consciously aware of
only a tiny fraction of the information coming at you during your waking hours (which is why
police often have difficulty getting witnesses to remember what really happened!). However,
unconsciously, youre taking it all in. Just relax, have a good time and let the presentation flash
by. Your amazing mind is absorbing all of it.

Try to remember a few of the images and power statements that you saw in your last session.
Its a gentle reminder, and a prompt to keep your goals top of mind. Thinking about your goals
often prioritizes them in your mind and makes the creation of automatic thought habits easier.
MindPT

Tip #6
Think About What You Are Seeing
Let yourself be carried away by the stunning imagery into a place of pure imagination, where
everything is possible. In your imagination, there are no limits, everything is achievable and
with the right prompts, your automatic thought habits will start to reflect those possibilities!
There is no time to think logically about anything while youre immersed in a MindPT Session.
And thats okay. The conscious part of the brain can only take in and process about 40 bits of
information per second, meaning you will never be able to read every word of every power
statement, nor will you notice every detail in every image.
However, your other-than-conscious mind IS taking it all in. The non-conscious parts of the
brain take in over 11 million bits of information per second. That is an astonishing amount of
information! If you were consciously aware of all of it, you simply would not be able to react to
any of it because of sheer overwhelm.
So what do you consciously notice? You notice what is important to you, based on existing
neural pathways (automatic thought processes and conditioned beliefs). For example, if you are
trained to see problems, that is what you will notice as the world flashes by.
MindPT helps retrain you to see what you wish to experience. The carefully curated images
and power statements help you create automatic thought processes based on what you want,
rather than keeping you stuck thinking about whats wrong. As you relax and enjoy the
presentation, youre only consciously aware of a tiny fraction of the information that is flashing
before your eyes. However, its all being taken in and processed by your magnificent brain!
You may play MindPT Sessions at any speed you like:
Slowly, to savor the images, think about the power statements, elicit positive feelings
and spark creativity.
Rapidly, to prevent your existing beliefs to argue with the statements and images. This
prevents feeling resistance to the ideas being presented. Too much time to think leads to
too much inner resistance to the very ideas you want to embody.
We recommend mixing up the speed at which you watch a MindPT Session. Start slowly, and
gradually increase the speed to a rate that is pleasurable and comfortable.
PRO TIP: Watch with delight and curiosity. Its like watching a vacation slide show created by
someone you love with all your heart. Theyre showing you the very best, and you are the lucky
one to enjoy such a visual treat. Be curious about what you see. What can these images spark
in you?
MindPT

Think about your goals often, from a curious and playful state of mind where your logical mind
or conditioned beliefs dont intrude. Have fun thinking about your goals! Imagination and
pretending are not just for kids. They are important ways to mentally rehearse a positive
outcome and a positive experience, without the constraints of what is possible. Be playful and
happy, and dont allow yourself to worry about how or even if this goal can be achieved.
Once you create automatic positive thoughts around a goal, your brain will naturally SEEK and
SEE the ways and means to make it happen for you!
Tip #7
Let Yourself Feel That This is Already True for You
Think about your goals as already real, right now.
Avoid thinking about them in the future, because that is a direct command to your brain to keep
them in the future. Thinking about I will lose weight means you get to procrastinate on taking
any action. Thinking about I am at my ideal weight feels good and naturally stimulates you to
take action on the idea.
MindPT
12
Just relax into the focused visualization and imagine this being true for you right now.
Whether youre thinking about a personal or professional goal, never put it off to the future. It will
take time for things to come together anyway. Use that time wisely gathering knowledge and
skills, laying the foundation and mentally preparing yourself for the day you achieve your goal.

When you think about your goal, think about it as if its already achieved. Mentally rehearse the
point of achievement! Think about how great it feels, how proud you are of your achievement.
Think about peoples reactions; think about the prize, recognition, whatever is important to you.
Think about the underlying reasons for wanting to achieve a particular goal. Your why keeps
you motivated on the way to achieving your goal. They also make the whole process feel good
so become aware of, and comfortable with, your why.
PRO TIP: Remember! As you think about your goal, remember what it was like as you were
working toward it. Remember using your imagination, any details of the process, no matter
how far youve come (even if you havent done anything yet): remember the very first steps
you took; remember moving past frustrations and obstacles; remember how you motivated
yourself to persevere this is reverse-engineering your goal and giving yourself two things: a)
the feeling that you can do this; and b) the feeling that even if you dont know every step, you
can always improvise until you receive some guidance! This helps you feel confident, and
sparks creative problem solving.

Tip #8
Allow
Many people struggle with the concept of allowing, because it sounds like they relinquish control
and let things happen to them or spend their time visualizing and waiting for their dreams to
drop into their lap...
Its not like that at all.
Allowing doesnt mean giving up your personal power and control. Its about relaxing into the
flow of the process. Its about allowing yourself to enjoy the images in a MindPT Session and
stimulating your imagination without expecting that you have to come up with how of bringing
your goals to life.
You dont have to figure out the strategies, actions or steps right now! Its your brains job to
alert you to the right people and resources in your environment, and it will. Just give those new
neural connections a chance to form.
Your job is to launch the desire and suspend doubt or disbelief that you can experience all
of what you're watching.
Think of it this way: when you think about a goal, you feel good, right? Even if you have no
earthly clue how you will achieve it, just thinking about it feels great. Its okay to feel good
without having all the answers. Allowing means you relax into the joy of just thinking about the
goal. In this subtle but powerful way, the idea of what you want becomes very firmly embedded
in your psyche. It becomes a part of you.
You embody the idea/goal/dream, without forcing it or stressing yourself out about how youre
going to achieve it.
Allowing also means letting go of expectations. When you set a goal, you naturally expect it to
happen. You also have expectations about the process it might be scary, it might be hard, or it
might be uncomfortable. Its these negative expectations that cause you to falter in your resolve
to persevere until youve achieved our goals.
The fact is, it might not be scary, hard or uncomfortable. You might have the time of your
life on your way to achieving this goal! This is the happy, positive and proactive mindset that is
being created in every MindPT Session.
MindPT
14
Allowing also means letting go of expectations. You dont know how things will evolve and you
dont know when you will achieve a goal, so let go of the need to control the process. This
mindset helps you be more adaptable and resilient.
Once your idea (goal) is a part of who you are its easy and natural to notice resources, boldly
take action, persevere, achieve and enjoy every step of the way!
If you feel the need to do something right now while those new neural connections are forming
and strengthening, say some affirmations. Use the ones that you create for your MindPT
sessions. You can never repeat affirmations too much. Be sure that your emotions are positive
when youre saying affirmations, as this helps the ideas imprint on your other-than-conscious
mind.
In particular, think about feeling worthy of your goals and desires. Youre allowed to want what
you want. Youre allowed to believe in a brighter future. Youre allowed to know that the past
doesnt equal the future. Youre allowed to start fresh, right now, on a new path of your
choosing.
Imagine yourself in each of the images you see.
Dont judge or label what you see. No good/bad or right/wrong or possible/impossible. Want
without demanding. Desire without needing. Do for the experience of doing.
Simply enjoy the images and messages for the sake of enjoying them, without
expectations of when or how, knowing that beneath the surface, a lot is happening.
When you are ready when new neural connections have been created and strengthened to
the point of being automatic thought habits, your goals have become real in your imagination
and its time to bring them to life. At this point you will be ready to SEE what you need to see
and empowered to ACT on it. Then, by taking action, you will start seeing big results.
PRO TIP: Escape! Its perfectly okay to use MindPT to escape from the stresses of everyday
life! As enjoyable as MindPT is, its not escapism. Each Session helps you influence your mind
to create positive goal-oriented automatic thoughts and trains it to actively seek the resources
and ways to make your goals happen! This is why MindPT takes the work out of self-work. It
does the work of creating new neural connections in a way that requires no effort whatsoever.

Instead of worrying about how you will achieve a goal, allow yourself to just think about it
positively without feeling like you need to take action now. Allow the mental rehearsal to take
place before you dive in with physical action.
MindPT
15
Mentally rehearse the pinnacle moment of success. Mentally rehearse the positive feelings you
will have as you achieve milestones. Mentally rehearse a few steps as you imagine them to be
(even if you have no idea what those steps are, set your imagination free to come up with a
positive and empowering action step).
For example, if you want your business to achieve massive success, mentally step out of your
comfort zone and imagine yourself doing something, with mastery, that moves your business
forward. Many entrepreneurs are great at coming up with a compelling vision, but theyre
intimidated by the idea of marketing their talents, goods and services because of fear of
rejection or fear of failure. But if they mentally rehearse doing something proactive like creating
an affiliate program, or launching a product at a trade show, it will spark creativity and make it
feel less frightening to step outside their comfort zone. Mental rehearsal builds confidence and
makes it easier to try something innovative.
PRO TIP: Mentally rehearse stepping out of your comfort zone, before you take any action on
your goals. Pre-learning makes action easier.
Tip #9
Put Yourself in the Picture!
The best way to increase the power of MindPT videos is to add images of yourself and
statements that you write. This creates a very strong emotional affinity with the presentation.
You see yourself in the picture, squarely in the very situation you wish to create in your life.
This helps prevent some of the resistance you would naturally feel to something new. Since
your brain cant see, there is no difference between information that is real (you standing in a
meadow with your prize-winning horse) and information that is imagined (a mental image of
you standing in a meadow with your prize-winning horse).
The more visual evidence you have, both in your imagination, MindPT and in the physical world,
the faster that image will seem normal and acceptable to your mind. Scenarios you previously
thought were impossible for you become commonplace quickly when they are continually
reinforced through MindPT and your own daily positive musings about your goals.
Embedding your identity in the MindPT Session will speed up the process of creating the
new neural connections that upgrade your beliefs, self-talk and behaviors.
MindPT Sessions are effective even without being personalized, but you will greatly accelerate
the process by adding self-images and statements that you write about yourself and your goals.
MindPT

Tips for adding photos:

Choose pictures of yourself where youre smiling, happy, and if possible, doing
something you love to do that relates to your current goal. Dont worry if its a great shot
of you or not! If a picture evokes a positive feeling, use it!
Create name slides of your first name, your first and last name, and any nickname you
like. Seeing your name as part of the presentation further reinforces your emotional
affinity to it. Your MindPT Sessions should feel good. It feels good to see your face and
your name in the grand picture of what you want!
Add pictures of yourself alone, and also with friends and family members and people you
admire. This makes the presentation seem as everyday as your current life, creating a
no-resistance approach to creating the life you want (or achieving any goal you want).
Add images captured in deep and profound moments of gratitude and happiness, where
you feel that all is right with the world; for example, images of your favorite life
experiences (even if they have nothing to do with your current goals).
Dont worry if you dont have many images to start with. You can always add them at any
point!

Keep mentally rehearsing both the process and the point of achievement, for all of your goals.
Makes sure YOU are prominent in your mental rehearsal. For example, imagine yourself
withdrawing a large sum of money from the bank; imagine yourself standing at the top of
Everest; imagine yourself accepting a major promotion. This is a great exercise to do when
MindPT
17
youre doing something that doesnt require a lot of attention, such as walking, folding laundry or
doing other household chores.
PRO TIP: Use multiple perspectives. Try to see yourself both from your perspective and as an
outside observer watching yourself.
Keep your goals top of mind by thinking about them often always in a playful, happy mood
and without the worry of how or am I worthy? Actively stimulate those neural connections.
The more you do this, the more youll become attuned to the means of achieving those goals.
Tip #10
Engage the Senses!
Visually, MindPT Sessions are stunning. You
can increase their potency by engaging your
other senses, too.
Music: one option is to create a playlist of your
favorite feel-good tunes. You can mute the
music that is embedded in the MindPT Session
and use your own music as the soundtrack to
your magnificent new life!
When you are simultaneously listening to
something and watching something, there is a
lot of information coming in and it's hard to
concentrate (if youve ever driven around a new
city looking for a particular address, you will
probably ask that people stop talking, and youll
turn down the radio so you can concentrate).
PRO TIP: Let go. Because of the amount of
information coming at you in a MindPT
Session, its easier to just let go. Stop trying to
make logical (conscious) sense of it all. There
is no time to analyze, label or judge any of the
incoming information. This relaxed attitude
helps imprint positive ideas quickly in a
resistance-free way.
MindPT
18
Imagine touching something you see in a slide; or smelling the aromas; or tasting a flavor. The
more you engage your senses, even in a flash microsecond, the faster youll create a very rich
inner vision of what you want.
PRO TIP: Keep your MindPT practice evolving! You can change your Personal Power video
or personalize any Expert Session video at any time, as your needs and desires change. You
can also create up-to-date soundtracks if theres a new song that motivates you or makes you
feel good.
For an additional sensory treat, use scented candles or incense to create an even richer
atmosphere and you can control whether that atmosphere is soothing or energizing.
PRO TIP: Use your knowledge of yourself. Use the carrots that motivate and energize you if
you are using MindPT to achieve a goal.
BONUS: the mobile app lets you watch your MindPT videos in private. So no worrying
about what others may think or say about your dreams and goals!

Further engage your senses by training yourself to notice evidence of success, happiness and
wellbeing all around you. If youre achieving a goal, notice people who are successful (in any
area). If youre working toward better health, notice healthy people. Imagine yourself as these
people - what are they doing? What do you imagine they are feeling? Thinking?
What are the scents/sounds/smells/textures/temperatures/tastes that you associate with
happiness? Actively seek them out in your environment. This further trains your brain to seek
them out. Happiness increases your repertoire of actions (making it easier and easier to achieve
any goal).

Tip #11
Writing Affirmations That Work
MindPT Sessions are full of positive, empowering statements that work in conjunction with the
images to help create positive automatic thought habits. These power statements, or
affirmations, have been carefully written for maximum impact.
The following is the guidance you will need to create your own maximum impact affirmations to
customize your Personal Power Videos or Expert Sessions. Read through it carefully before you
create any of your own affirmations, and refer to this section anytime you need an extra boost in
confidence.
Remember, how you talk to yourself influences how you feel and therefore how you act. MindPT
is all about changing or upgrading the way you talk to yourself. Step one is through images,
and step two is through affirmations.
There is a real art to writing affirmations that work. Many people believe that affirmations are
just feel-good platitudes with no real impact. However, they are tremendously powerful.
We all talk to ourselves, all day long. Whether our self-talk is positive and empowering or
negative and dis-empowering is another story! You may not be aware that MOST of your
automatic thought patterns are negative. This is not because you are a negative person. Its
actually due to our brains being hyper-focused on survival (the brains #1 job is to keep you
alive). Anything new may be considered a threat, and to be avoided.
The problem is that when you want to achieve a goal thats new to you, you will have to take
new actions and think in new ways. The brain considers that a threat, and so it creates what is
called cognitive dissonance the discomfort of a clash or discord between your beliefs and
your goals).
A lot of cognitive dissonance occurs from insisting that something is true when it clearly isnt.
Saying, I am a millionaire when you cant pay the rent this month means you are lying to
yourself and creating a massive struggle between what you say and the actual situation. Yet this
is how most people use affirmations. Its no wonder they rarely work!
Here are the steps to take to create the kinds of positive automatic thought habits that will
automate your success in any area of life:
MindPT
20
1. Focus your self-talk ONLY on what you want and not on the current situation
Focusing on what is commands your brain to find resources to make that command reality.
Thats why the same situations keep perpetuating themselves. Instead, shift your focus entirely
to what you wish to accomplish.
WRONG: I want to lose weight / I dont want to be broke anymore!

RIGHT: I enjoy being at my ideal weight / It feels great to be financially abundant
PRO TIP: It helps to focus on the bigger picture, or what your goal will actually achieve in the
long run. Personal goals are important, but to avoid the Im not worthy feelings that may
accompany a goal (or guilty feelings about wanting some item of luxury), think about how your
goal can impact the world in a positive way. ALL (healthy) goals can be used for this greater
purpose of making the world a better place. If you desire wealth, think about the ways your
wealth can spread outward from you and enrich others. After all, youll be using your money, not
hoarding it. If you desire health, think about the ways you can share your energy in doing
something that helps the environment or a cause you believe in. If you desire a happy
relationship, think about how your happiness can positively impact the people in your life. If you
desire to lose weight, think of the people whose lives you will enrich as you buy a new wardrobe
to fit your slim, sexy new self! If you desire to be successful in business, think about how your
passion will fire up your team, providing the impetus for them to reach higher and create
something truly awesome! Every positive thing that you create emotionally, mentally and
physically has the potential to improve life on this planet in some way. Think beyond yourself.
MindPT
21

When you talk to yourself, or to other people, become aware of how you talk. Notice negative
statements. Notice any tendency to blame, criticize, judge, complain, put down, negate or
diminish.
Consciously work on improving the way you talk:
Talk about solutions, not problems
Talk about possibility, not limitations
Talk about hope, not despair
Talk about achievement, not failure
2. Use the present tense.

Dont put your dreams off until whenever! Your dream already exists, in its full glory, in your
imagination. Its just a matter of getting that inner reality to come into the physical reality! If you
create an inner reality of this is how things are now, your brain will work a lot harder and faster
in matching your outer reality to that wonderful new inner reality because that inner reality is
now your focus and a command.
WRONG: I will be fabulously wealthy / I will run an artists workshop

RIGHT: I enjoy fabulous wealth / I love the freedom of running an artists workshop

Even if you havent taken a single step toward a goal, start taking the talk to yourself. If
someone asks you about a goal, say, I am achieving (the goal). Think and speak positively
and proactively.
3. Use feelings as carriers for ideas.

I am affirmations are powerful, but they are easily, and often, misused. Even though your goal
already exists in your imagination, its hard to argue with the logical mind and conditioned
beliefs (not to mention current reality), so avoid using I am affirmations on their own. Instead,
change I am affirmation slightly to focus on feelings and use plenty of colorful adjectives.
WRONG: I am healthy / I am confident / I am wealthy

RIGHT: I feel healthy / I feel confident / I feel wealthy
MindPT
22
There is no cognitive dissonance to feeling something. If you struggle with poor health, you can
still feel healthy for a moment here and there. If youre shy, you can still enjoy moments of
confidence. If youre broke, you can feel wealthy if you find some money in a coat pocket!
Attach feelings to the act of thinking about or imagining your goal:
I feel good when I think about being in perfect health

It feels great to think about making a million dollars
I love to imagine helping people with my work
Use emotive expressions that you normally say in your everyday speech. For example, if you
use the word awesome a lot, be sure to use it in your affirmations. But if its not a word that
you like to use, dont use it. You want your affirmations to be authentic to YOU. Examples of
emotive words:
awesome / great / now / love / happy / grateful / appreciate / free
power(ful) / strong / wow / yes / respected / recognized / amazing
enjoy / exciting / best / wonderful / magnificent / glorious / fabulous
fulfilling / purposeful / passion(ate) / exquisite / marvelous / peace(ful)
joy(ful) / abundance / prosperity / wealthy / rich / health(y) / harmony
harmonious / like / enjoy / quality / adventure / comfort(able) / easy
MindPT
23

Start sprinkling positive words into your speech. Avoid dont, cant, wont and start saying is,
can and will more.
4. Use the 1st, 2nd and 3rd person I am statements together, along with your name.
You may experience a bit of resistance to I am affirmations. I am is an incredibly powerful
creation command. However, you may feel like an I am statement isnt true, given your current
circumstances.
The solution is to bundle the affirmation. We tend to believe what other people say about us
more than we believe self-statements. Bundle your I am affirmations with 2nd- and 3rd-person
affirmations.
In the first person, you are making a declaration.

In the second person, imagine that your very best friend, most important mentor or
greatest influence is talking to you.
In the third person affirmations, imagine your closest supporters and biggest fans are
talking about you.
Be sure to say 1st, 2nd and 3rd person affirmations together as a group, and USE YOUR NAME
in these affirmations. Remember to add emotion and positive adjectives. Embellish your
affirmations!:
I feel great thinking about being a successful photographer
Kim, you are such a successful photographer, Im so proud of you!
Wow, Kim is a really successful photographer, she is living her dream!

Accept compliments gracefully. Never diminish them by saying, Oh, it was nothing or other
self-deprecating statements. A simple thank you is enough.
5. Use it is statements.
It is is an emphatic statement of fact. Its not a self-statement that you can argue with, its more
of a statement that this is just the way things are. Its another way to further reinforce the
messages youre imprinting into your other-than-conscious mind.
MindPT
24
PRO TIP: Use these words in your it is statements:

Possible: It is possible to become a world-famous architect
Easy: It is easy to run a sub-3 hour marathon
My: It is possible to achieve my goal of becoming a model It is easy to use my talents
and make money doing what I love
Me: Success comes easily to me It is possible for me to lead a large organization

Talk about your goal as though it is. Use the Pro Tip above and use the words possible, easy,
my and me in positive ways.
MindPT
25
6. Add YES and expressions of gratitude to your statements.

There is no word more positive than yes! Say it emphatically and enthusiastically.
Yes! I love to reach and exceed my goals!

Yes, it feels great to be a famous singer!
Yes! Kim appreciates how good it feels to make $1 million every year!
Yes, Kim, you are a strong and confident leader!

Express gratitude often. Become more appreciative of the people in your life, the things you
own, the experiences youve had. Become thankful for mistakes (even the big ones) because
they are valuable teachers. Become grateful for adversity. Appreciate the stuff you take for
granted - and lump your desires and goals right in there with these things. Thinking about your
goals as though you already have them, lumped in there with your socks and everything else
that is already yours, helps speed up the process of integrating the goal into your other-thanconscious mind.
Say yes more often than you say no, except when it comes to spreading yourself too thin just to
please others! Say yes to challenges, opportunities, innovation, alternatives, new points of view,
adventure and change. Change is only hard and bad if you decide that it is!
7. Use details to enhance your mental image and feelings.

The richer the text, the richer the mental image that your brain uses to translate the words and
the more compelling your inner vision becomes! Fall in love with the vision - you are the
architect of your life!
OKAY: I make a lot of money
BETTER: I make $100,000 a year in my business
AWESOME: I make $100,000 a year as a life coach helping people create happier lives

Act out some of the scenes you just watched in your MindPT Session. If you observed people
being confident doing something you want to do, make it a point to talk confidently to yourself.
MindPT
26
PRO TIP: Choose happiness! Your happiness all depends on how you choose to interpret
something). If you observed people eating right, make a better dietary choice at your next meal.
If you observed people exercising, park at the furthest corner of the parking lot and walk a little
extra to the store. If you observed people smiling and laughing, make it a point to laugh and
smile more. Consciously mirror the positive emotions and behaviors you remember from a
MindPT Session.
Tip #12
Use Your Body
Your posture and body language speak volumes about what is going on in your mind. Your
mental and emotional state influences your body very powerfully; however, your body can also
influence the mind. You can lift your spirits and energize yourself using these two methods at
any time:
MindPT
27
SMILE: Try this right now: go stand in front of a mirror and smile at yourself. Even if you dont
feel like smiling, put a smile on your face and hold it. Keep holding it, looking into your eyes in
the reflection. This is a very powerful physiological signal to your brain that all is well - no
matter what your mood was like when you started, you will feel better and soon your fake smile
will become a genuine smile of pure happiness. Keep holding that smile, for at least 2 minutes.
Chances are really good youll start laughing before the time is up! Use this anytime to boost
your mood!
POWER POSE: Stand with your feet slightly wider than shoulder-width. Raise your arms out to
the sides and bring them up until they are at about a 45 degree angle - reaching up and out,
ready to embrace the whole world. Stand tall, with your stomach in and chest out. Raise your
chin and your eyes so that you are looking ahead or slightly up, not down. Hold this pose for at
least 2 minutes. Again, a wonderful physiological phenomenon will occur. Your testosterone
levels will increase just enough to give you a boost in energy, strength and confidence! Use this
anytime you feel weak, insecure, scared, unsure or unworthy.

Be aware of your posture and body language. When youre feeling less than confident, upset or
fearful, make it a point to elevate yourself physically. Stand tall; make eye contact; smile; walk
briskly; shoulders back, stomach in, chest out; swing your arms when you walk. You can fool
your brain quite easily into thinking all is well with the world, just by acting as though it is. This is
more than just getting you to feel good. Once you feel good, youre more motivated, bold,
confident, proactive and energized. Just as importantly, others automatically perceive you as
more attractive, approachable, trustworthy, friendly, strong and capable!
Tip #13
Stick With It!
Commit to 100 days of daily watching. Dont worry about fitting MindPT into your schedule.
Remember, you have a mobile app so you can take MindPT with you anywhere and watch
anytime thats convenient for you, and you don't have to watch for extended periods of time!
Its more important to be consistent. Just like increasing physical fitness, youll have much faster
and better results if you exercise daily rather than trying to fit all of your exercise into an intense
weekend session.
MindPT
28
Why 100 days? No thought pattern or belief is stand-alone. It is linked, in very complex ways,
to other beliefs and thought patterns. So relax. Enjoy. Surrender. You may see some results in 3
days or 30 days or 300 days it depends on how sticky your beliefs are and your level of
commitment.
PRO TIP: Write down anything that happens as proof. Stick with it and youll see dramatic
changes, synchronicities and serendipity within the first 100 days. Keep going and writing down
all the small, subtle, big and dramatic things that happen! Do it for you and stick with it for as
long as you need to. Commit to yourself and your goals!

Practice creating positive personal habits. Your success, in any area of life, depends on your
habits. Aristotle said it best: We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not a virtue but
a habit.
You can literally automate success by creating the right automatic thought habits. These
automatic thought habits has associated feelings, and these feelings lead to automatic
behaviors - and predictable results.
How to create tiny habits that have a monumental impact:

Creating a big habit (such as exercising every day) can be difficult because it creates some
measure of upheaval in your daily routine, and we humans resist that very forcefully. Most
people dont have the discipline, or the desire, to work on creating a habit since it takes
anywhere from three weeks to several months for the habit to become established.
Life seems to get in the way at the most inconvenient times. All it takes is a small break in the
routine - or a small lack of motivation that allows you to rationalize just this once - and once
that momentum is broken, you can end up back to your old ways very quickly.
Introducing any change to your routine can cause internal resistance so the trick to creating any
positive habit is threefold. Lets use the example of running (you can apply this technique to any
habit).
MindPT
29
1. Break the habit into its smallest component and initiate the behavior.
Most people start out enthusiastic about running and put a lot into it in the beginning. But when
the running starts to hurt or they dont see results as quickly as they expected, their enthusiasm
wanes and they quit. To prevent that, think about the smallest possible step you can take and
initiate the behavior. Put on your running shoes. And that is all. As silly as this may seem,
commit to only putting on your running shoes every day for 3-4 weeks until you create the
mental habit of getting ready to go for a run. Youll know its time to actually start running, when
its an automatic thing to put on your running shoes! Then, the physical habit will be much easier
to implement.
2. Mentally rehearse the habit - pre-learn it and make it a normal part of your everyday
thinking.
Put on your running shoes and think about running. Mentally rehearse running, filling your mind
with positive images and feelings about running. For 3-4 weeks, dont run; just think about
running. Read running magazines. Watch people running, and mentally put yourself in the
scenes you observe, with lots of positive emotions. By the time you start running (when the
mental habit is created) the mental/emotional rehearsal will easily carry over to a physical habit!
3. Hook the emerging habit to a positive existing habit.
For example, if your morning routine consists of enjoying a hot cup of coffee, hook your new
habit to this. Turn on the coffee maker, put on your running shoes, and mentally rehearse
running. Lump all of these into a feel-good morning routine. Simply initiating the behavior will
make it easier to continue with the habit once you actually get out there and start running! How
long you run for when you start, doesnt matter. It could be 5 minutes, and thats a great start.
The habit can evolve as you gain fitness!
Granted, these are small steps. But unless you have Ninja-like discipline, you will achieve much
better results if you create tiny habits and gradually build on them.
To sum up, think about a goal, and the smallest daily action you can take on it. Then focus only
on initiating that action. This applies to any goal: you could just set up an easel; turn on your
PC; open your document; take out your meditation cushion; pick up a piece of fruit; pour a glass
of water; open a textbook. Then mentally rehearse the actions that you want to become habits.
That is all you will be doing until it feels completely natural and you have a strong motivation to
continue building on that tiny action. This works for any goal!!

Tip #14
Believe
A new goal can be intimidating. Using MindPT daily to create the mindset of success will help
you see the goal as possible and achievable. If you have trouble believing in yourself, give it
some time and a dedicated MindPT practice. In time, youll completely change the way you
think about yourself and your goals.

MindPT
31
One of the best ways to build belief is to mentally rehearse something. Another is to use positive
self-talk. One of the best statements you can use on a daily basis is, I can. Of course there are
things you cannot do right now and this is where people have trouble with this statement,
believing its a lie. However
I can give it my best / I can increase my knowledge / I can ask / I can adapt
I can build skills / I can imagine / I can create / I can innovate / I can solve
I can persevere / I can motivate myself / I can enjoy the process / I can have fun
I can learn from mistakes / I can change my self-talk / I can evolve / I CAN DO THIS
Use these phrases to jump-start your self-belief. Avoid I cant, even if its true at the moment.
