You have a mechanism within your mind that controls all your performance and achievement. It is a powerful force that keeps you in alignment with how you see yourself and the world around you. It's called a self-image.

As you will learn by watching this video, if you have distorted beliefs, it will limit your performance – hence, the results in your life. In other words, you have got to get your mindset right!

Your self-image is always "accurate" because it simply aligns itself with your current beliefs. It isn't your self-image that has gone haywire! It's your belief system stored in your mind. Your actions and decisions are only as accurate as the information upon which they are based. You may mistakenly believe your willpower will carry you through to achieving a goal, but the challenge is this: Willpower consistently comes in second to your dominant belief and your current self-image! Why? Let's look at the way you think.

You are constantly taking in data through your many senses. Your associations and evaluations are based on previously stored data (experiences, beliefs, and attitudes), on which you may or may not take action. All of your beliefs are stored in the mind at the subconscious level, without bias or judgment. The mind then resolves all conflicts, reduces tension, and creatively solves problems. It also provides drive and energy to maintain your "reality" and the image you have of yourself, which is consistent with your current dominant beliefs.

You may be familiar with the term "comfort zone" and most likely can feel when you are inside or outside your comfort zone. Your comfort zone monitors your range of performance and where you feel comfortable. It corresponds with your current self-image and largely determines your achievement and performance levels. Since you are a comfort-seeking organism, it is perfectly natural to experience "anxiety" and "tension" when you're outside the "zone."

Change that internal reality, and the results in your life will automatically change for the better! Change your self-image and change your life!
