2. What is it about some movies that
make you want to watch them over
and over, yet other movies you only
want to see once?

3. I've seen plenty of movies, and I've
enjoyed plenty of movies.

4. But some movies, even though I'd rate
them pretty high, I already know I
don't want to see them again.

5. But other movies, I enjoy watching
them every couple years or so.

6. Same with books. There's a few books
I've read several times.

7. What's the difference?

8. For me, at least, some stories are
heavy on dramatic suspense.

9. The story and characters draw you in,
and you want to see what's going to
happen.

10. But once you know what's going to
happen, the enjoyment wears off on
subsequent viewings.

11. Other movies don't have that effect.

12. Even though you KNOW what's going
to happen, you enjoy it anyway.

13. I think part of it has to do with the old
Greek theory of "Catharsis."

14. Meaning you get emotionally involved
in the character, and vicariously solve
your OWN emotions as the hero solves
his or her problems.

15. Action packed movies don't tend to
have that.

16. But stories with strong character arcs
do.

17. Because all us humans are
continuously on our own character
arc, we tend to "resonate" with those
stories more.

18. We love to see the hero overcome
their own inner demons, because as
we watch them, we do so ourselves, if
only a little bit.

19. This was the genius behind Milton
Erickson.

20. He told stories, rather than simply
talking about people about their
problems.

21. He would match a story PERFECTLY
with the person he was talking to.

22. And by following along, they would
overcome their own problems.

23. That's one way.

24. Which is great if you have access to a
world famous hypnotist who solves
people's problems in one or two
sessions.

25. But there is another way.

26. And that is to create your OWN hero's
journey in your mind.

27. Rehearse and practice mentally,
overcoming those demons, and getting
the prize.

28. Most people don't like doing this.

29. They'd rather self-medicate
themselves with hours and hours of
brainless TV.

30. Not that there's not good stuff on TV.

31. But when you make and watch YOUR
OWN mental moves, they are
necessarily going to be a PERFECT
match to help you conquer your inner
demons.

32. And believe me, we ALL have inner
demons.

33. The whole character arc of life is to
conquer inner AND outer demons.

34. The more successful you get, the
bigger the demons get.

35. You will NEVER face a demon you
cannot destroy.

36. But you HAVE to face it.

37. With practice, it's easy.

38. Mental exercise. Focus on what you
want.

39. Train your mind to expect to get it.

40. That way, you can more easily focus on
what's on the OTHER SIDE of that
imaginary demon, that the demon
itself.
