The “mental filter” concept was created to help people understand how the mind makes up its mind. Here’s a clue - it’s not random—quite the opposite. The mind knows what it’s doing. Do you know what your mind is doing?

When it comes to how your mind filters events in your life, the pivotal question is, “Who’s in control, you or your mind?”

Curiously, how you perceive what happens or doesn’t happen is based on what has already happened. Your mental filter is comprised of four factors - your genetic gifts, your upbringing, your relationship history, and your imagination.

How these factors interact determines how you “filter” what happens. The bottom line is that your mental filter is based on the hand you were dealt and the luck you had along the way.

The illustration below depicts the raw ingredients of each factor.

As these critical factors merge, your unique perspective of the world is created. While it’s easy to see how your filter comes alive, what’s not easy is knowing when and how you’re “filtering” what’s happening to you in real time.

Illustrated below, combining the factors creates your mental filter.
