One of my favorite all-times techniques is the exposure technique. I’ve never stuck with it long enough, unfortunately but as long as I did, I had better results and better mindset. I lost 20kg of fat while sticking to the technique (unconsciously though), I learnt English that way and many other things. It’s ridiculously simple (not as easy in practice though) and obvious but here you go. It’s very similar to what we are doing with subliminals
The exposure technique
- Figure out a goal you’d like to achieve
- Identify key skills, strategies and lessons you need to learn and integrate into your life to achieve this goal.
- Now, prioritize the list, remove unnecessary and nonsensical stuff, just leave the necessary ones in there.
- Now the main part. Expose yourself to as much info on these points as possible. If it’s a skill, learn it. If it’s a character trait, read and listen about this character trait
What to expect: big breakthroughs to your current problem, clarity, drive, ambition, possibly flow state and big progress to your goals
Read books on the topics. If you are getting lazy, listen to podcasts or audiobooks or courses, whatever. Just expose yourself automatically to as much material is possible. Kinda like with subs lol. Make sure to still take action though.
It works through changing your thinking and widening your horizons. Usually it’s not “we bring about what we think about” but rather “we bring about what we are most exposed to”. Take action + listen to subs + expose yourself to the material + journal = ultimate success.

When I was cutting weight for the first time, I was obsessed with researching keto, IF, etc. - I watched and read stuff about it daily.
-
When I was learning English, I knew I had to immerse and I immersed in the material about learning languages lol. Until one day I caught myself actually understanding the lessons.

When I had the most amount of breakthroughs with the bot, I was in love with programming, was reading and thinking about it daily and spent 8-12 hours working on the bot or learning programming. - The bot is still not done because the trading strategies weren’t good but the fact is that I was making lots of progress
You should keep yourself exposed daily. An important quality to develop is self discipline. You will develop self discipline by exposing yourself to the material that allows you to get that self discipline in the first place. Doing that every single day will make you realize and integrate self discipline into your life automatically. This technique is incredibly powerful when used consistently. It will change your whole thinking, mindset and confidence levels completely for the things you want to achieve. You should explore it for yourself and witness the positive benefits occurring in your life.
