Uncovering the Self: A Playful Exercise in Mindset Mastery

Uncovering the Self: A Playful Exercise in Mindset Mastery

Introduction

In the realm of personal development, mindset is king. For senior leaders, mastering mindset isn't just a luxury—it's a necessity. In this blog, I'll take you through a thought-provoking exercise from my Mindset Mastery program, one that helps you connect with the essence of who you are.

The Power of Disappearing

Step 1: Observing Your Surroundings

Look around the room you are in now. Take a mental picture of everything in it. Now, imagine what it would look like if all the contents disappeared. It’s a bit unusual but fascinatingly familiar.

Step 2: Expanding the Scope

Next, imagine the room itself disappearing. Then the building, followed by the entire planet, the sun, and all the stars. Visualize everything vanishing, one step at a time.

Step 3: Disappearing Your Body

Now, shift your focus inward. Imagine your body disappearing. What would that feel like? What if you could dissolve into nothingness?

The Irreducible Self

The Final Frontier

Here’s where it gets profound. Imagine the entity that is observing everything disappearing. This one is impossible.

This entity is the essence of who and what you are. It is the Self that philosophers and religions have pondered for millennia. It won't disappear because it is the core of your existence.

Experiencing Life Through the Self

This Self is what experiences everything—love, joy, fear, excitement—even without a physical body. It is the part of you that taps into your intuition, knows the next steps, and remains untroubled by stress.
