So, this is actually how being creative works. Star Wars succeeded because Lucas threw everything he had ever read or seen (Fu Manchu, fairy-tales, WWII films) onto the screen. No modern Star Wars has replicated his success because today’s writers have only seen Star Wars.

The closest thing to a cheat code in life is self-hypnosis. Most people have no idea how it works or how easy it is to do.

Why it works

Self-hypnosis is powerful because it quiets the part of your brain that filters and second-guesses everything new. Brain scans show the prefrontal cortex, which handles self-monitoring and criticism, drops in activity, and once that guard is down you get a direct line into the subconscious where your habits and emotional patterns are stored. Normally that filter blocks new beliefs from sinking in. Hypnosis turns it down.

It's also a real, distinct brain state. Stanford found that the region keeping you alert to your surroundings goes quiet, the parts tied to self-consciousness switch off, and the mind-body connection strengthens, which is why a suggestion lands far deeper than a normal affirmation. And when you vividly imagine something in that state, your brain fires almost the same as if it were really happening, so it half-treats the imagined version as something you've actually lived.

How to do it

Find a quiet spot and sit or lie back. Close your eyes and slow your breathing so the exhale is longer than the inhale, around four seconds in, six to eight out. Move through your body releasing tension from your feet up to your head, tensing each muscle group for a second then letting it go as you breathe out.

Once you feel loose, count down from ten to one, telling yourself you're sinking twice as deep with each number. When you reach that heavy, sunk-in feeling, you're ready to put the suggestion in.

For the suggestion, follow four rules. Say it as if it's already real ("I am confident," not "I will be"). Point it at what you want, not what you're escaping ("I am secure," not "I'm not broke"), because the mind ignores the "not" and locks onto whatever picture you paint. Make it vivid, see it happening now and feel what you'd feel if it were already true. Then repeat it.

When you're done, count up from one to five, coming back sharper and more awake with each number. The best times to do all this are right as you wake and right before you fall asleep, because your brain is already drifting near that state on its own.
