State-of-Mind "The Ecology of Perception"

The primary basis for what we commonly call "Self-Empowerment” is first creating what will become the primary filter through which we form all fundamental perceptions. Our State-of-Mind or "mood" determine how we look at the world, and what we see as a result. So the primary skill you want to learn is the importance of choosing your state-of-mind and cultivating it intentionally.

Our state-of- mind is based on how the Mind/body are used in regards to Focus, Physiology and Meaning.. What we chose to focus on, what we are doing with our body, and the language we use to talk to ourselves that brings meaning to our perceptions. Moods, like attitudes are habitual states that we find ourselves in most often without being aware of the fact that we can change our state any time we want by simply changing what we are doing physically, what we are focused on and thinking about, and what words or metaphors we are using to give our focus a certain "type" of meaning.

By deciding what it is that we want, what our desired results or outcome is, and what state would naturally produce that, we can consciously chose how to look at it, what to tell ourselves about it, and how we can use our body in a productive manner to facilitate the mood we desire.

To alter your state:

Notice what you are focused on and how you're thinking about it.

What your physiology is like: sitting, slumped, pacing, standing.

And how you are using your internal dialogue to talk to yourself about it. What kind of language, metaphors and feeling interpretation are you using to give it meaning or tell a story about it.

Change any one of these, it automatically influences the others. If you intentionally change all three, your mood will change instantly.
Consciously choose the state that would be most effective for producing your desired outcome. Change your state, and tune into your internal experience, and stay focused on your desired outcome, and any time you notice a shift, readjust your state, and continue to apply yourself.
