The Internal Representational System: Designing Your Reality

Have you ever wondered why you behave the way you do?

Why do the same patterns keep repeating in your life?

We don’t experience life as it is—we experience it as we perceive it. Our reality is subjective, shaped by the meanings we unconsciously attach to events. In fact, research suggests that 95% of our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are driven by unconscious patterns. These patterns influence our state of mind, which then dictates our actions. Over time, these repeated behaviors create the reality we live in every single day.

The Game-Changer?

If reality is a construct—then it can be reconstructed.

If you find yourself stuck in repetitive cycles—whether it’s feeling anxious, struggling in toxic relationships, or being trapped in an unfulfilling job—it’s time to look beyond surface-level change. Instead of merely reacting, dive deeper into your Internal Representational System—the way your mind processes and interprets experiences.

Rewiring Your Mindset: Key Questions to Ask Yourself

  • What is the language you use to describe your situation?

Your words shape your thoughts, and your thoughts shape your reality. Are you speaking in terms of limitation or possibility?

  • What core beliefs are influencing you?

Where did these beliefs come from, and more importantly—are they serving you, or holding you back?

  • How do your values, memories, and attitudes shape your perception?

The way you filter experiences determines whether you see opportunities or obstacles.

  • How are you responsible for your perception, state, and behavior?

Your reality is not merely a product of external circumstances—it’s a reflection of how you choose to interpret and respond to them.

The Power of Choice

The moment you become aware of these patterns, you unlock the most powerful realization of all:

  You have a choice in what you believe.
  You have a choice in what is important to you.
  You have a choice in the language you use.
  You have a choice in your attitude toward life.
  You have a choice in how you perceive your past.

The key to transformation? Redesign your internal representations to reflect the life you want to create. 

If you’re unsure where to start, look at someone who is already where you want to be.

  • What do they value?
  • What do they believe?
  • What habits and attitudes contribute to their success?
  • How can you integrate these elements into your own life?

Your reality is not fixed—it is fluid, shaped by the lens through which you view the world. Take control. Reframe. Redesign. And start living the life you were meant to create.
