When you add your internal representations and your physiology you then have the component pieces of “a state of consciousness.” Such states come and go throughout a day. Some enhance our lives and therefore empower us; some limit our lives and therefore disempower us.
The ability to manage state describes the difference between those who achieve their outcomes and those who fail to achieve their outcomes.
1. State Understanding
2. State Awareness
3. State Alteration
4. State Utilization
The Pattern
Take a moment to think of a time when you have felt powerful. Now represent things in a way that puts you in such a resourceful state where you feel empowered. Represent how things will work, not how they can’t or won’t. Forming internal representations of things working begins to access the internal resources that will tend to produce that state. It works like magic!
This will let you know what specific things to do to elicit the state you want. Make the kind of generalizations about yourself that will effectively govern and direct your states.
The ability to effect our own state in moments simply reflects a mechanism within our personality. Once we learn to access and elicit a state then we can anchor it. Associate or link it with certain behaviours, words, gestures, symbols, etc., so that you can quickly and easily get back into that state. This will cultivate in you a powerfully resourceful state of representations and physiology.

Not what you’re given.
Not what you need.
