Whether it is a social event, a work event, or presentation you are going to give, you can change that future, that event, to the one you choose.

Rewrite Your Reality: Set the Stage for Success

1. Sit down with a piece of paper and a pen. To fully engage your brain, this must be written by hand.

2. Think about the event for which you want success.

3. Write out every step of the event as you wish it would be but write it as though it has already happened.  Include positive feelings and interactions.

4. Then read it.

​

You will be amazed at how effective this simple process is. Your brain is fooled into thinking and feeling that it has already happened, removing your internal roadblocks.

​

This exercise is from the great book The Charisma Myth: How Anyone Can Master the Art and Science of Personal Magnetism by Olivia Fox Cabane. This is one of her tools for Rewriting Reality.

My Real-Life Example: Before giving a public presentation to a large group.

​

“I was completely prepared. I was enthused as I drove. There was little to no traffic. I found a close parking place. When I walked into the room, I felt confident. As I spoke, my audience leaned in, excited and eager to hear what I had to say.  They nodded their heads and smiled while I spoke. What I said resonated with them. My technology worked flawlessly. I was comfortable and energized. Afterward, people came up to me with compliments, comments, and engaging questions. The organizer was pleased. As I drove home, I felt great.”

​

It turned out to be a wonderful experience for me, and it all came true just as I wrote it. Friends and clients have had great success with this simple process.  You will too.
