The Hack Insecurity IQ Matrix explores how to overcome various forms of insecurity that stem from a fear of uncertainty. Whenever we feel insecure about something, there is this lingering feeling of uneasiness and uncertainty. At that moment, we’re not quite sure of ourselves, of our ability, and of our capacity to act in a certain way. We struggle with self-doubt and find it very difficult to control our inner critic. We’re subsequently paralyzed and refrain from doing what would essentially free us from the constraints of our irrational thoughts and beliefs. This mind map walks you through a four-step process you can use to hack your brain and reprogram deep-seated patterns of behavior that are making you feel insecure.
Here is a quick breakdown of each branch of the Heal Insecurity IQ Matrix:
RECOGNIZE: There is a quick and easy way to recognize moments of insecurity as it often stems from feelings of doubt and a fear of uncertainty. The first branch of this mind map explores how to recognize insecurity and the impact that it is having on your thoughts and behavior.
EXAMINE: Now that you are aware of what is going on, let’s break down why exactly this happening. The second branch of this mind map presents you with various questions that help you pinpoint what exactly is making you feel insecure; the uncertainty surrounding your circumstances; the assumptions that you’re making, and the story you are telling yourself that is feeding your feelings of insecurity.
EXPLORE: With clarity comes power. You are now ready to begin exploring methods for working through your insecurity. The third branch of this mind map breaks down how to think objectively about your circumstances. Moreover, it challenges you to adopt new perspectives, beliefs, and assumptions. It also poses the idea of creating a new empowering story that will encourage proactive action.
COMMIT: The final branch of this mind map asks you to make a commitment. This involves committing to setting realistic goals and setting clear growth and effort targets. Consistency in each one of these areas will help you to work through feelings of insecurity and overcome elements of uncertainty.
This map provides a roadmap for hacking insecurity. Referencing it regularly and committing it to memory will help you to embed these principles into your subconscious mind. Only in this way will you develop optimal habits of mind and patterns of behavior that will transform how you think and feel in various situations.
A mind map, of course, does this beautifully because it mirrors the synaptic connections made in your brain as you try to establish new habits of thought and behavior. It brings together key concepts and ideas that help your brain to fully integrate and process this information. The brain, subsequently, rewires itself as it attempts to establish new habits of mind. It’s an ideal tool for creating lasting change and transformation.
