Concluding with Your Assignment

Let’s quickly put everything you’ve learned in this module into a summarized perspective.
I started this module by teaching you that paradigms are how you see things in your environment. They’re a framework, a perspective in how you interpret part of your world. And your paradigms are a combination of your focus and your attitudes.
I followed by showing you the power of the most commonly known paradigms – visual paradigms. These paradigms are created by our focus on the visual information in our environment and our attitude towards it. Together, our focus and attitude greatly influence our interpretation of what we "see" and our following actions. Our visual paradigms have the power to significantly impact our most important relationships, our self-confidence and self-esteem, and even our physical safety.
Similar to visual paradigms, aural paradigms are the creation of the sounds we focus on and our attitude or interpretation of that sound. Our temporary aural paradigms can have a great impact on our communication, even influencing us to completely misunderstand someone else while paying attention. Repeating back important elements of your conversations is the key to prevent this paradigm from tripping you. More permanent aural paradigms can evoke strong emotions in you and influence your behaviors when you hear certain sounds.
The final paradigm type I taught you and the one that can have the greatest impact on your behaviors was behavioral paradigms. These paradigms are launched by events and circumstances rather than sights and sounds. All of your habits, both positive and negative, are behavioral paradigms. Our thoughts and behaviors toward others are influenced by these paradigms, as well as our failure or success mindsets. Even every Time Control tool I’ve taught you in this program is designed to create positive behavioral paradigms.
I then taught you the simple, powerful secret to all paradigms – that you have complete control over all of your paradigms and you can change them whenever you wish. To help you generate the awareness to act on this on a consistent basis, I armed you with a question to pose to your daily stimuli and situations.
"How can shifting my paradigm for this situation better leverage my success?"
Through awareness, desire and action on your part, you can use this question to leverage all of your paradigms towards your increased success in time.
Now for your assignment. There are no worksheets to go through this month, just a simple, behavioral exercise to test. And I’ve already alluded to it. For starters I want you to write down our paradigm-shifting question onto an index card or convenient piece of paper. Take this card or paper with your question with you wherever you go for the next three to four weeks to encourage you to apply it to as many paradigm situations as you can.
Throughout your days, at least five days a week, try to go through your paradigm question as often as possible. It shouldn’t take you long, maybe even just a few seconds. Wherever a paradigm could be involved, in other words wherever your behaviors could apply and that’s a lot of situations, consciously ask yourself, "How can shifting my paradigm for this situation better leverage my success?" Listen to your answers and then take action as appropriate! Try this for a few weeks to ingrain the habit of applying this question for life.
This isn’t a hard assignment. As a matter of fact, it’s one of the easiest assignments I’ve given you to date. Please don’t let this simplicity fool you. If you can create the habit of observing your paradigms and then mentally step back to brainstorm ways to change or improve them, you can take your time control to ever-increasing higher and higher levels.
Until next time.
