My Secret Goal Setting Code
Was at a coffee bar this morning – reviewing my goals, hammering out “copy” and poetry – while many college students sitting nearby have zero idea what I’m writing because I’m using what is now, in many ways, a secret code.
It’s called Cursive Handwriting.
I write all my goals, poems and somewhat deep thoughts, in cursive – first.
I write much of my copy the same way – first.
Then, when I need speed, I type.
I write cursive for many reasons. Here’s a partial list:
1. It uses the brain at a deeper level – causing neurogenesis and enhanced memory function
2. It improves fine motor skills that come into play when performing a gross motor skill, as in sports or martial arts, with a light touch
3. It releases neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine, making you feel good
4. It puts you into a calm, relaxed, flowing mood – without even trying
5. It increases production of IGF1 – insulin-like growth factor – the hormone involved in keeping you YOUNG
6. It makes you feel superior to other earthlings who can barely print their name, much less write it in cursive
7. If you ever want to read the original writings of our forefathers and/or your forebears, you have the ability to do so.
8. It increases clarity of thought, organizational capability and precision.
I know many people who type out their goals. This is a big mistake.
Writing them out is much better – and writing them in cursive is FAR BETTER due to the increased brain wave activity.
This is why, whether you’re currently studying Psycho-Cybernetics or Zero Resistance Living – you want to fill in the blanks in cursive.https://youtu.be/7ocOIKI1fic
Doing so will engage more of your brain – both sides – and help catapult you to where you want to go.
Here endeth the lesson.

Ultimate Secret for Shifting Your Mind
It’s so easy.
Too easy, in fact.
That’s probably why so many people are shocked and stunned how quickly it works.
You find yourself falling into a negative state of mind. Thoughts of fear, worry and self-doubt are visiting and you don’t what to do.
What’s the secret?
The moment you notice yourself slipping into negativity, catch yourself – then change your focus to something brighter, lighter and much more positive.
For example, as you’re driving to work you have a fearful thought of getting into an accident. Or that someone else will.
As soon as this thought hits, stop yourself, take a deep breath, let it out, and begin picturing being at home with your loved ones. See your car parked and in good condition. Picture yourself giving your loved ones a hug.
What will this do for you?
It will eliminate the negative emotions that are attempting to rule over you. Yet, with this technique, YOU are the captain of your vessel, whether it’s a car, a ship or a bicycle.
This technique is explained in Psycho-Cybernetics, yet most people miss it.
And it’s not the only technique in the book that people miss during the first reading. I’ve been reading the book since 1987, and I’m still learning from it. And that’s after reading it, highlighting it, writing in the margins, dog-earing pages and taking copious notes on cards and journals.
You’ll find a ton of those notes in the Theatre of the Mind audio program as well as Zero Resistance Living System – advanced courses for sure.
Use this technique today and let me know how you get along with it.
Here endeth the lesson.

The Muhammad Ali Secret
“The Greatest” had a secret for getting himself to work hard when he encountered resistance.
His own resistance.
The kind of resistance that makes you prone to procrastination and frustration. The kind of resistance that leads to NOT reaching your goals because you’re picturing the wrong images in your mind’s eye.
Ali had a way around the resistance.
When other people were out partying or sleeping and he had a fight to prepare for, Muhammad Ali told himself something that motivated him to get the job done.
Want to know what that was?
I reveal all in the following must watch YouTube clip.

The Positive Thinking Thought Police
“There you are, wrapped up in your own little moronic world,” a coach hollered at one of his players.
Parents sitting in the stands shivered. “Oh my gawd, did he just say what I think he said?”
“He did,” replied another parent.
“That’s horrible. How can you be so insensitive?” another questioned.
Meanwhile, there are a couple former professional athletes sitting in the same stands, laughing to themselves. To them, what the coach said is no big deal. When they were playing ball, they heard far worse, and not just once in a blue moon, either.
These athletes not only got reamed by their coaches, but once they turned pro, they heard it from the fans, from the local media, from the national as well as world media.
They heard thousands yelling, “You suck.”
And they learned to live with it and succeed in spite of the critics and the criticism.
These professional athletes learned the fine art of acquiring thick skin and not giving a damn about what the naysayers think.
Insult them beyond belief and they look at you, smile through busted teeth and say, “Is that it? That all you got? You better come up with something else if you want me to feel insulted.”
Raising an athlete who has never felt the sting of criticism is almost a goal for many people today. But is it a good idea? Does policing all criticism out of your life make you a better person? Does it make you tougher, more resilient?
What do you think?
Here endeth the lesson.
Matt Furey
P.S. If you’ll recall the story I told in Theatre of the Mind, one of my biggest breakthroughs in college happened after Coach Dan Gable told me that I “didn’t try very hard in practice.” I need to go listen to that one again. It still fires me up every time I hear it.
If You’re Getting the Opposite of What You Want…
Ever set a goal or form an intention and end up getting the opposite of what you want?
An athlete who is playing a sport of accuracy, such as golf, tennis, bowling and baseball, often finds out that whatever he or she intends may actually end up being the worst thing to focus on because it rarely, if ever, happens.
Try to sink a putt and you’ll miss. Try to hit a homerun and you’ll hit a ground ball. Try to serve an ace and you’ll fault.
Strange but true.
And it’s not just the word “try” that is the problem with these intentions.
It’s the reality that many goals are similar to the perceived “pot of gold” at the end of the rainbow. You chase after them only to end up with nothing but feelings of emptiness.
The same is true of money. When you chase after money, it runs faster.
This is why people who understand the secrets of accumulating money never use the word “chase”or “push” in their description of the process.
Neither do they advocate doing nothing but “thinking.”
How you think is part of the equation. It’s the first and most important part.
Another part, though, is WHAT you’re thinking about – and chances are excellent that if you focus on a homerun when it comes to money, you’ll flop and fail.
Great athletes learn to focus on a process. In fact, for the most part, the process, the daily goal, the small action steps, the change in habits… these become the major goals and the desired outcome is minimized.
Yes, you still have a desire to have more, do more and be more – it’s just that you understand your mental images and the habits you implement from those images are what is going to move you forward. This means you’re far better off focusing on your habits. Period.
A high school baseball player I worked with had a goal to bat .400. He finished the season at .203.
The following year he set the same goal of .400. He batted .224.
The next year, he listened to my advice and set no goal whatsoever in terms of batting average. Instead he worked on the self-image techniques I taught him on how to focus on the process.
He batted .506 that year,
Hmmmmmmmm.
You read it here first, my friend.
Make the process the major goal – and you can work miracles.
Here endeth the lesson.

P.S. One of the best ways to get yourself HOOKED on the process of creating the SELF you really want to be, is my Theatre of the Mind audio program. Play it each day as you commute to and from work, play, grocery shopping, whatever, and you’ll find yourself doing better and better and better. Truism. Get the program NOW and see for yourself.
The Power of Writing One Word
Almost a year ago, I met with a man in his 50’s who was down in the dumps.
His life was not going well – straight across the board.
His spouse was on him to “make more money” – and every idea he came up with, or that I gave him, got shot down.
Perhaps his ideas needed to be shot down – but NOT MINE.
My ideas on the subject were not only tested, they were valid – and proven.
[And yes, I realize this subject goes both ways in the spousal department. Husbands put their wives down, too.On with my story…]
I sat with the man and encouraged him the begin using the power of cursive handwriting to not only change his brain waves, but to put him into a different emotional state.
Being an acupuncturist who is fluent in Japanese, he was well aware of the power of calligraphy. In Japan and China, it’s not uncommon for calligraphers to be commissioned to write a single character. Or to create a scroll with no more than four characters. These are to be displayed in your home or office to change the vibration.
But what about the vibration of the calligrapher?
Is he highly paid for his craft?
Well, let me put it this way: On a recent visit to the Shaolin Temple, my friend had a scroll made for his wife. He paid top dollar – and so did the continuous flow of people who came before and after him.
How long did it take the calligrapher to create each scroll?
Not long at all.
Well, that’s all well and swell – but how’s that going to do anything for the guy I’m coaching?
Is he going to sell his handwriting?
No, he’s not. But he is going to alter his mental picture of himself. He’s going to change who he is, in terms of his self-image… and how he feels about himself.
I gave the man some specific words to write in cursive – NOT PRINT.
You don’t change much at all when you print.
The man followed my suggestions and he immediately began to relax and smile. He started to laugh out loud.
He’s now making an EASY five figures per month.
That’s the power of writing ONE WORD.
And yet another reason why I hesitate in recommending affirmations.
Why?
Because what I teach is better.
Yes, you can overcome the failure mechanism – and you can do it with ONE WORD.
How about that?
Here endeth the lesson.

P.S. More on defeating the failure mechanism on the Matt Furey Theatre of the Mind Facebook group – as well as my YouTube channel – here’s an example from yesterday: Poetry in Motion. Be sure to subscribe to both.

Mental Flexibility
A few question to consider this morning:
How flexible is your mind?
Not an easy question, so let me elaborate with “easier” ones:
How many different views do you have of yourself?
Can you see yourself from different angles and directions?
Can you picture yourself in different sizes or dimensions?
How many ways can you see your life and circumstances?
If the answer is only one – you have a lot of room to grow.
Why? Because mental flexibility is the key to being able to change your self-image and your life.
You cannot change your self-image or your SELF if you are unwilling to see yourself in a different way(s).
Can you picture yourself being 10 feet tall … or only at your REAL height?
Can you mentally pretend you are the size of a young child?
You might think these are interesting questions, but only because no one has ever asked you them before – including yourself.
I can tell you that these questions are KEY to changing who you are, and the essence of them is covered in even more detail in the first lesson of Zero Resistance Living, the ultimate program for turning your life right-side up.
Go check out the details on this program NOW. You’ll be thrilled you did.
Why?
Because the Power of Imagination is bigger than you think.
Play with it and you’ll understand why – especially when you see what the positive future holds for you.
Saying Goodbye
So I’m standing in the airport, getting ready to go through security.
40 days of training in China are now over, and it’s time to depart.
I turn to my brother-in-law, standing a few feet away, bow and extend my hand.
“Xie xie ni de bang mang,” I say. Thank you for your help.
And then I turn to my right and begin my short but long walk through the tunnel. Out of my book bag I pull my laptop and other electronics and place them in the tray.
Off with my shoes. Onward.
On and off with the feelings of missing my family back home while leaving family and friends and teachers behind in China.
As I take my seat on the plane and recline, I already miss China, and I haven’t left yet.
I got back yesterday morning and after waking up at 3 AM today, it really hit me.
In terms of my training, I’m on my own again. No more 9 AM and 2 PM classes. No more scheduled meals.
Five hours of training each day were so much easier because I had someone waiting on me. I had a class to attend.
Now, if I am to train, it is up to me and me alone.
No one is waiting for me. No one is scheduling me.
My goal is to train at least an hour per day in what I practiced each day in China.
That’s nothing compared to five hours per day.
Yet it is because I have to get into the zone on my own.
How am I going to do that?
By making the goal part of a larger process with a commitment to continually find ways to improve.
The physical practice was a big part of my training in China – but so was the mental imagery.
In fact, I made my biggest improvements when I took a seat, or stood in place, and mentally pictured what I was to do BEFORE doing it.
Funny how this works. It’s not rocket science – yet it really is, because we send rockets to destinations we program in advance.
That’s what cybernetics is.
You nail down a target, then direct yourself and your actions toward that target.
Doing so requires the use of mental imagery. You see where you want to be in your imagination before you get there in physical reality.
What result do you want to create in your life today?
Why not take a minute or two to picture being there already – and see what happens?
Have fun with this. It’s not work – yet it works.
Here endeth the lesson.
