Trying to pull the easiest and correct concepts of inner game into a short and immediately applicable post for beginners on here.
Too many references to list, when it’s super specific I’ll give credit.
1. Self-image.
(from the book Psycho-Cybernetics by Maxwell Maltz)
We all have an internal representation of ourselves, and this is referred to as our “self-image.”
It comprises beliefs about what we are capable of and what we find impossible or difficult. We cannot, for the most part act in a way that contradicts our self-image.
Tips to improve your self-image:
— Meditation.
— Visualization exercises, close your eyes and picture yourself successfully pulling off what it is you want to be able to do. (like a successful opener where the girl just loves your company)
— Affirmations, mantras, words you repeat to yourself in a state of belief, to affect your subconscious mind. “I deserve to be happy” is one simple example.
2. Be Unreactive.
In general, the less reactive you are, the better. If you don’t know how to react in a way that is attractive or you’re surprised, then simply don’t react, act like whatever surprised you didn’t happen, the girl’s **** test, act like you didn’t hear it and continue on like nothing happened.
Tips:
— Act like nothing happened and continue like nothing happened.
— Hardest parts will be to not react through these 3 means: Your facial expression, your tonality, and your body language.
3. Avoid overreaching (aka trying to hard, actions outside of emotional context).
This concept was developed by Mr. M of Love Systems, when I met him we spoke about this in brief detail and he provided a different perspective on it.
Here’s the basic DEFINITION: Overreaching occurs when you do something to try to create an emotion in someone else that is beyond what you're actually feeling, or is out of context.
Tips:
— Do not do things for a specific reaction.
— Try to avoid doing things to gain approval or to look cool.
— Reframe the situation as you being the prize and the girl as chasing you.
Hope this helps!
