Cop an Attitude

Have you ever shopped for some new shoes, a particular new outfit, a piece of furniture or a new vehicle?

Let’s say a fancy new Volkswagen Beetle has caught your attention… (I don’t know why you like it -but hey, it’s your desire…not mine)

You saw one, you liked it and now you want one -Good for you!

Nice Ride!

Nice Ride!

But then have you noticed what happens next…?

What used to be a rare occurrence (spotting a VW Beetle) is now an overwhelming reality

…They are EVERYWHERE!

…But are they really?

Are there really THAT many more VW Beetles than there were BEFORE you became interested in them???

No, not really…

You stumbled upon something and that ‘something’  spurred an interest in you. You initiated what’s called the Reticular Activating System (RAS) in your brain and because your RAS has been engaged -you are now predisposed to notice whatever it is that your mind has now fixated upon -namely -crazy looking little cars with rounded corners and freakish features. -Now you see them everywhere!

We can use this very same brain functioning system to change our habits and our lives.

All we need do is focus upon that which we intensely desire….fixate upon it…and envision it as our reality.
Imagine living that life -the life that you desire

Forget your bad habits….in fact, forget them all together. They will do you no good here

Just let your Reticular Activating System (RAS) seek out and find everything you could ever possibly need to make your vision a reality!

I know it sounds absurd…..But I have seen this very same system succeed time after time ~in situation after situation….it really works!

Where I see most people fail, is sadly, within themselves.  Most people lack the self confidence to boldly stand up to their old habits and proclaim “No Thank You! – I choose not to participate in this any longer!”

This not a ‘one day fix’ -No not at all…

I don’t even expect my clients to make any notable, measurable progress for the first 4 weeks on this program (although most certainly do).

But the attitude adjustment that takes place in those 4 weeks….now that is priceless

So grab yourself some Attitude
-Make a substantial change….Decide what it is that you want to adjust in your life and fix your focus upon it…

We cannot achieve that which we do not believe….

Believe it!

Then achieve that which you believe….

To Your Good Health!

Change your Habits -Change your Life!

The biggest challenge you will ever face when deciding to make lifestyle changes…is you.

You are your own biggest asset and your own biggest liability.

Your strengths are also your weaknesses.

In the field of brain research the Hebbian Theory states that: “Brain cells that fire together –wire together”

Neurons that 'fire together -wire together'

Brain neurons -hard at work -creating actions -creating your life!

All that means is, when we make the same choices over and over -the random chemical reactions in our brains begin to fire as if there is no other alternative -like they are not ‘random’ anymore.

It’s like we no longer have ‘choice.’

We seem to feel that we have to act in these same, predictable patterns, these same predictable ways -making the same predictable unhealthy choices.

So what used to be random…..is now “automatic”

We can also call these are our habits.

But in reality our habits are just the choices we make and the and actions we take…that’s all.  They can be changed.

We really can ‘re-wire’ the neurons in our brains to ‘re-fire’ in different order and in different sequence to create new and different actions, behaviors and habits.

We have that power! -It’s true!

I get all ‘goose-bumpy’ just thinking about it! (I am such a nerd)

So new habits may be difficult to get into and you may not ‘think’ you’re enjoying them but there’s more going on inside that head of yours than you may realize.

You’re fighting with yourself and there is a battle going on inside your brain.

Remember…..

“Brain cells that fire together –wire together”

Just start ‘firing’ new experiences and eventually those experiences will become habit and then……

–The sky is the limit!

You can ultimately do whatever you want to do.

(See? -now YOU have the goosebumps!)

To your good health!
