The Hack Your Nerves IQ Matrix explores an effective process you can use to settle your nerves in various situations. The mind map breaks down four steps you can take that will help you to mentally and physically work through moments when your nerves get the better of you. The map not only presents you with a set of guidelines for overcoming your nerves, but it also provides you with numerous solution-focused questions that will challenge you to think objectively and critically about your circumstances. These questions will help you to proactively work through your nerves and make the best of a difficult and awkward situation.
Here is a quick breakdown of each branch of the Hack Your Nerves IQ Matrix:
RECOGNIZE: It’s hard to think straight or execute a task effectively when our nerves get the better of us. The first branch of this mind map helps you to recognize the subtle signs of nervousness before it fully takes hold of you. Moreover, it walks you through various reasons why your nerves are getting the better of you.
EXPLORE: Now that you have a deeper understanding of where your nerves stem from, it’s time to get a better understanding of your circumstances. The second branch of this mind map presents you with a series of questions that help you better assess the situation, your goals, the obstacles standing in your way, and how you will potentially overcome them.
PREPARE: Your next step is to adequately prepare yourself to work through your nerves. This involves mental, physical and verbal preparation. The third branch of this mind map challenges your perspective of the situation using a series of questions and lenses. These questions will encourage you to view the situation and your nerves in a different light. Most importantly, they will help you find effective solutions to your predicament.
EXECUTE: As we get to the final branch of this mind map, we reach the execution stage. This is where you put all the insights and ideas you garnered from the other three branches into practice. This branch provides you with several additional guidelines to help you turn your nervous energy into humor, curiosity, and excitement.
This map provides a roadmap for hacking your nerves. 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.
