At first I was afraid, petrified! Then I will survive! Yes, the lyrics to one of the most popular ‘survival’ songs actually is a case study in Psycho-Cybernetics!
Before that you must know about Cybernetics!
Cybernetics which is a term loosely translated from the Greek indicates “a helmsman who steers his ship to port.”
While Psycho-Cybernetics is a term coined by Dr. Maxwell Maltz, which means, “steering your mind to a productive, useful goal so you can reach the greatest port in the world, peace of mind.”!
In this very popular book, Maxwell who is a plastic surgeon by profession states how the strongest computer in the world that is our brain has the power within and we have to unleash it somehow! How you can bear pain without anesthesia if your mind is powerful enough! How what you feel is actually the power of your brain and nothing else!
Although he was a plastic surgeon (I know many plastic surgeons who hate the term ‘Plastic!’; they feel it feels so artificial while in fact they like to make you feel as natural as possible!); Maxwell understood that before he could make any change to the face or any part of a patient’s body physically, he must make sure there is a mental change!
Even before the procedure there has to be a fine balance between expectations and results! If your expectation is high then no matter the outcome, you would always be disappointed! While if you have a guarded expectation, your results would be much better!
Maxwell also states how when you get exposed to any problem, then at first you get terrified or petrified! But then the constant stimulus of the same problem will make you adapt!
It it the same in animals!
So apparently animals continuously exposed to a uniform damaging stimulus at first display the symptoms of the ‘alarm reaction’ and later pass into a resistant phase. The hypothetical measure of an individual’s capacity to resist stress according to Maxwell Maltz is adaptation energy!
It is like a Each person is believed to have a finite amount of adaptation energy, which is used to cope with different types of stress. Energy expended to cope with one type of stress, such as staying up late, results in less being available for other stresses, such as training.
When adaptation energy is low, a person is more likely to suffer from stress-related diseases and conditions known as burnout and rundown! So anything which increases your adaptation energy will increase your healing power!
Some may use medication while some others meditation! Many can listen to songs or watch a positive motivating movie! Some may read a book and or a good blog (not necessarily this one!)!
Or watch some nice feel good movie like the one directed by Sooraj Barjatya…
A quick sketch and blog on a day which went like a blur!
