Your model of the world guides your perceptions and behaviors.
In Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) the term, ‘model of the world’ means an individual’s beliefs and values, filters, desires, expectations, experiences, and learnings about the world. This is like a cognitive GPS from which you interpret situations and navigate your way throughout the world.
Have you ever had an experience with someone where you've have had a difference of opinion? This is because you have a different mental model of the world than others. Based on your experiences in life, you create belief systems about yourself and others. If those experiences are negative, this can result in overgeneralizing.
Psychologists use the term “cognitive distortions” to describe irrational, inflated thoughts, or beliefs that distort a person’s perception of reality, usually in a negative way. Naturally, you will feel inclined to trust what your brain tells you. However, there are some situations where you should second guess what it's telling you.
Your brain is a deletion tool. On a regular basis, it is deleting 99% of what you could be taking in around you. The brain can only focus on so many things at once. If you are unhappy with your life, it is most likely because you are fixating on one thing. By doing so, you are deleting all of the things that are happening in the present moment.
There are so many things to be grateful for.
Do you believe that you can choose to feel good at any moment? When you experience positive emotions, you create more positive generalizations that will serve your model of the world. Abraham Hicks said it best – “Let your dominant intent be to feel good… as you practice it, the Universe, who has been watching you practice, will give you constant opportunities to express it. So that your life just gets better and better and better.”
Unfortunately, we are conditioned to react to what's happening in a given moment. In turn, we end up associating with the feelings that accompany that experience. When these feelings aren't positive, it's easy to generate stories about ourselves and others.
How would it feel if you could choose to feel good, despite what is happening around and inside of you? This doesn't mean that you have to ignore your problems. Instead, you are choosing to consciously create a reality that you want. Make it a priority to continually challenge your belief systems.
If you allow a single worldview to dominate your thinking, you will become close-minded. This is a great way to distort your perception of reality and trap you in a perpetual state of indifference. As the common proverb says, “If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.” However, when you make the effort to continuously update your mental models, you reprogram your mind for success.
Are you ready to take charge of your brain?
If your mental model of the world isn't serving you, it's time to make a change. All beliefs are learned, which means that they can be unlearned.
In the words of the late great, Wayne Dyer, “If you change the way that you look at things, the things you look at change. Are you ready to change your model of the world?
