Dear Seeker of Success,
Last time, we looked at how “shutting down” is incorrect in the sense that men are actually AMPING UP.
Today, we’ll cover the next aspect: how you are languaging the problem.
How are you talking to yourself about it?
What metaphors are you using?
For Example, The Metaphor Of “Shutting Down” Is Not An Accurate Metaphor
When you pick a metaphor, a way of describing and talking about something, you want to make sure it is accurate, matches what’s going on and is empowering and useful.
It has to be accurate, empowering and useful.
“Shutting down” isn’t – especially when you consider what may be cause that feeling.
Way back when I wrote my first book in 1988, I said, “One woman, one vote.”
On Election Day, that super-smoking hot, beautiful woman casts the same number of votes at the ballot box as her disgustingly ugly, gnarly sister.
Yet, when it comes to very beautiful women, guys tend to think they have some kind of universal beautiful-woman-to-beautiful-woman hotline.
Men think that if one woman rejects them, somehow some instant telepathic message goes out to every beautiful woman saying “Don’t go out with that dude!” – and from then on, their vaginas, arms and nasty bits are shut down to you forever.
In Fact, There Is No Such Thing Happening!
There’s no universal communications system. It’s one woman, one vote.
Her “vote” counts only for herself. The other hot women can (and will) cast their own ballots.
Part III is far more pervasive, something that you, up until now, may not even realize.
It has to do with what SHE sees.
Peace,
RJ
P.S. Understanding and changing your personal metaphor allows you to make contact with, and look deeply into, the depths of your unconscious and the heights of your super-conscious mind. It automatically takes all of your stumbling blocks and turns them into stepping stones.
