Proof of this is easy to observe in reality. Take the presentation
example. Unless the presenter snuffs those thoughts, he creates
and travels a path directed towards failure. Influenced by the mind,
his bodily responses create the necessary ambience for
catastrophe.
Examine the escalating bodily malfunctions of a man on Failure
Avenue: first, he begins breathing erratically and stilts his voice. He
stumbles over key points and fails to address questions rapidly
enough. His eyes dart nervously across the room. He loses
credibility. Unwittingly, his mind subverted his desires for success.
Expectation of failure is a subliminal command to the self to fail. As
the subconscious is receptive to unspoken commands, it responds
almost instantaneously and instructs the nerves, muscles and
organs to carry out the directive. Hence, failure ultimately arises.
Every challenge one faces incites that "fear-of-failure-response." In
shy men, the sight of a beautiful woman is almost guaranteed to
inspire a total mental shutdown because of the flood of negativistic
thoughts. For that reason, you are now already readily aware why
so many are alone. Before contact is made, these men have set
themselves up for failure.
Why do we suffer anxiety attacks? It is a natural psychological
response designed by our DNA for protection purposes. Worry
prevents us from taking risks. Anxiety inhibits us from taking
chances. In a way, this is Mother Nature's technique for ensuring
the survival of the species.
Today, anxiety no longer serves as good a purpose as it did when
our ancestors had to flee wildcats and bears. Anxiety destroys
instead of preserves.
Snuff the anxiety cycle before it begins, through an effective
technique called Mind Blocking.
Mind Blocking is a method I use to destroy thoughts that have no
positive value and which create feelings of fear.
The next time you feel those thoughts assail your mind and the
cold touch fear creep across your neck, first blank your mind.
Imagine a white wall in your mental screen and nothing else. From
there, when your brain cycles have stabilized, swing your thought
patterns 180 degrees around, from thinking of yourself to
something else completely. Illustrating, fixate your eyes on the
nose of the woman who is causing you anxiety. Or, maybe, focus

on the slideshow presentation your are making. All your efforts
must be totally detached from yourself and flung upon something
else. It is the preoccupation with anything else but yourself which
effectively and naturally blots out the recurring cycle of negative
thoughts when a challenge looms ahead.
Stray thoughts may infiltrate. Banish them by mentally reciting a
meaningless monotone mantra to kill them. The indian mantra
"Om" is a good resonant word."
Finally, a last tactic is lunge head into the challenge or obstacle
without first giving yourself a chance to worry about it. Doing so
pre-empts the cycle of fear that arises when a threat arises.
Operationalize this technique in the romance world. The next time
you see a woman who knocks the breath out of you, block your
mind with a white screen, gaze and focus into her eyes, recite your
mantra, and approach her within seconds of first seeing her. Say a
warm greeting in measured tones. The rapidness with which you
make your move allows you to forget any feelings of anxiety and
project an image of determination and self-assuredness. In the
romance game, self-assuredness is a desirable trait.
Recapping the Mind Block Technique
Cast a white screen in your mental field of vision to screen
anxious thoughts.

Recite a repetitive mental mantra pre-empt extraneous fears.

Focus exclusively on some external object other than yourself
till your pulse subsides.

Make an aggressive move towards the challenge (such as the
woman) before the fear cycle registers. In romance,
approaching a woman within five seconds of establishing
visual contact is a power move which endows you with an
impressive first impression. Remember, he who hesitates is
lost.

Modeling
When we see someone we admire, we tend to imitate not just their
manner of speaking, but also their method of dress and personal

habits. At times, such imitation breeds copy-cats so similar to the
real thing that the genuine article no longer differentiates himself
substantially.
Shortly after Elvis Presly disappeared, a wave of fanatics emulated
the King's modus operandi. Many took voice classes and donned
the outfit that catapulted him to fame. Some of these imitators
achieved such proficiency that many swore that these fakes just as
good as the King. Obviously, imitation can clone success.
Think now of the ideal Ladies Man. He may be fictional. He may be
a legendary personage such as Casanova. Whom you chose
doesn't matter; what does is that you are bitingly aware of the very
traits this man possesses.
The process of modeling allows you to replicate the success of
others by stepping into the reality of that person you wish to model.
You would first create a three dimensional image of that person in
your mind, take note of the traits he possesses, and absorb it into
your own system.
Is modeling easy? Since childhood, we modeled ourselves against
parents, teachers, popular friends and superheroes. We have done
it effortlessly and
