How do we create our self image?

What does the term “affect” mean?

Our brain uses a language called “affect”, a non-verbal language, to create our self image. This is similar to what happens in the background of our computer.

Each operating system a computer uses whether the operating system is Windows, Linux, Android or OS X Lion for Apple, has a language that tells it “what to do”.

It is not possible to fix or change the operating system of our brain, if we do not understand the language or code it uses and speak to it using that language.

Our operating system learned most of its information, before we became verbal. The language our operating system uses is, non-verbal and is called affect.

The operating system in our brain uses affect to alter the lens we use to give us our perceptions.

Try this….next time you go to look in the mirror, stop before you do. Feel how your body feels inside, take a few deep breathes and relax all over. If you feel much more relaxed, your “affect” added some apprehension to the way you felt before you saw your reflection. If we felt apprehensive, our affect altered our lens so we could not see our image with clarity.

The added apprehension adds something to what we see when we look in the mirror. The feeling it gives us does not make us look and see ourselves as beautiful.

Before you look at yourself, change the “affect.”

Think of yourself and how you felt the last time you had a new outfit on, or think of how you felt on your honeymoon. Feel how beautiful you felt in your body and let the idea go. Now open your eyes and see how beautiful you are.

“Affect” instantly and automatically changes our perceptions. This website is all about rewriting “affect”. This creates a permanent improvement in our self image.

You are in the right place. I am not aware of anything else that rewrites affect, at this time. You are welcome to enjoy all of the free exercises to improve our affect.
