Chart of How Mental Shields Work

Chart of how Mental Shields Work

HERE IT IS! The Shield Method is based on this chart. Refer back to it, as needed, while reading the lessons. Once you understand how Mental Shields work, gaining SUPER WILLPOWER can be easy!

Whenever You are Tempted by a Desire:

(Such as a desire for cheesecake)

If you CAN currently have the desire:

If you CAN’T currently have the desire:

(For example, you are home and have cheesecake in your kitchen.)

(For example, you’re flying in an airplane where there isn’t any cheesecake.)

Then your primitive mind (Id the Dragon) will NOT be SHIELDED (or blocked) from working for the desire.

Then your primitive mind (Id the Dragon) WILL be SHIELDED (or blocked) from working for the desire!

(He’ll be free to WORK for it!)

(Instead, he’ll HELP you RESIST it!)

How can Id the Dragon WORK for the desire?

He can send you URGES and PLANS for having some of that pie, and MEMORIES of how good it tastes. He can put you in the MOOD to have it and can make you feel DEPRIVED if you don’t get it!

He will help you ACCEPT that you can’t have any cherry cheesecake during the flight and keep you as COMFORTABLE as possible without it.

As a Result:

You WILL have to FIGHT your primitive mind (Id), using ORDINARY willpower, to try to resist the desire. This can be very DIFFICULT and STRESSFUL! Id can keep working for the desire until you give in and have it!

You WON’T have to FIGHT your primitive mind (Id) to resist the desire. In fact, you’ll have SUPER WILLPOWER for resisting it! You’ll be able to COMFORTABLY and EASILY resist it and you’ll have a VERY HIGH success rate for resisting it (usually over 99%)!
