Trompe l’oel (French for trick the eye) is an art technique involving realistic painting imagery in order to create the optical illusion that depicted objects appear in three dimensions.
The trompe l’oeil technique was widely used in the past, and was particularly popular in the Baroque period.
So, what about trompe l’esprit™?
In the same way that we use the trompe l’oeil technique to deceive our eye, we can use the trompe l’esprit™ technique with our mind too.
Trompe l’esprit™ (Trick the mind or deceive the mind)– is one of ArtSHINE technique that we show to our clients how to trick one mind so that we are not procrastinating. Instead it helps us to take action and do the tasks that are really matters to us. It is a way to empower our mind to move forward to accomplish tasks and achieve our goals. Let us demonstrate one of the example how you can trick your mind so as speak.
Just say from you list of things to do, you have several little jobs which are related to the same project, what you can do is to group all to one job and proceed with these tasks first. Because the tasks are related which mean you can execute them altogether and save time too. However, even though you have left other big tasks to do later, psychologically it feels as if you have less to do when the list isn’t so long. At ArtSHINE we refer it to “Trompe l’esprit”, we got the inspiration from Trompe l’oel. All you did was to trick you mind and free your anxiety. This in turn will give you a feeling that you have accomplished something.
Sometimes we need to use the power of Trompe l’esprit to boost our spirit , as you know no one can force you to do anything if you don’t want to do it, the willingness to do something is come from your mind as the saying “you have made up your mind or you have changed your mind” . Our mind is powerful it can encourage us to pursue success or delay us from reaching it. So always find real purpose in what you do, everything we do must have purpose or we will delay or procrastinate.
