Use Affirmations, Visualization, and Action to Revise RAS Search Commands

Imagine opening the map search bar in an open-world game and entering "portal," and the system automatically marks all teleport locations. Your brain possesses a similar search system, known as the RAS (Reticular Activating System).

Unfortunately, many of us are unaware that we're inputting keywords daily, and most of these are negative.

"I have a terrible memory," "I always procrastinate," "Success isn't for me," "Making a fortune isn't my destiny"... These statements may appear to be mere complaints, yet they provide clear search commands to your RAS, instructing it to incessantly gather evidence reinforcing such beliefs.

To rewrite your life's script, the primary step is to "change the language you're inputting daily."

Affirmative Language Isn't Self-Hypnosis; It's Linguistic Programming

Affirmative language doesn't involve brainwashing or hollow slogans. Instead, it provides new "code" to your nervous system, allowing the RAS to start seeking alternative sources of information.

Observe the differences in these statements:

• I'm lousy/I messed up → I'm learning how to handle challenges
• I'm old and forgetful → My brain needs continuous learning and connection
• I failed → I'm accumulating successful experiences

These transitions redirect your RAS from searching for "problems" to seeking "breakthrough clues."

Initially, you might resist as your brain is used to the old language, but with consistent practice, it'll gradually adopt the new language patterns, altering your focus and behavior choices.

Visualization Converts Language into Images

Language serves as the voice of intention, while visualization embodies the image of intention.

By spending a little time each day envisioning your "ideal self," such as:

• You confidently presenting a proposal
• You jogging energetically in the morning
• You creatively expressing ideas at work
• You surrounded by admiration and love

This isn't merely wishful thinking; it's "training your RAS to focus." The more frequently you visualize these scenarios, the more your brain will begin to recognize contexts, dialogues, opportunities, and resources related to these images—this is the initial phase of "reality reshaping."

Action Transforms Language into Reality

You might wonder: "I say affirmations daily, practice visualization, yet nothing changes."

Then, ponder: Have you used your body to aid your brain in believing all of this?

• If you assert "I'm capable," then tackle something small you'd typically avoid.
• If you assert "I deserve health," then prepare nutritious meals for yourself, start exercising.
• If you assert "I deserve love," then set aside time solely for yourself, engaging in activities that please you.

Actions render language credible, transcending mere rhetoric.

Small Task: Craft Your Own Mission Dialogue

Take out a pen and paper, jot down a negative statement you've been frequently telling yourself. Then, using the structure below, rewrite it into a new mission dialogue:

1. I am learning ___________ (new skill)
2. My body/emotions are adapting to ___________ (transition)
3. I choose to believe ___________ (new belief) I am willing to see ___________ (new possibilities)
4. In favorable times, I discern the risks behind comfort; in challenging times, I perceive opportunities beneath crises.

This serves as your revised life mission manual.

Language Is Your Operating Interface

In the game of life, what you tell yourself daily reflects the commands you issue to your system. You can persist in inputting "I'm stuck," or opt for "I'm upgrading." The RAS doesn't evaluate the veracity of your language—it's simply an executor. Whatever you articulate, it seeks on your behalf.

What type of world do you wish for it to uncover today? The script starts being penned with the first sentence you utter.
