Making Changes
Your attributes are not biological directives or traits; they are skills And skills can be acquired
Train Your Brain
We Are What We Do.
It Is Not What We Say or Think.
Here’s a short cut toward understanding yourself and others. If you want to see where someone is operating from, including yourself simply step back and witness patterns of behavior.
Our patterns of behavior represent 95% of who we are. Our emotions, words and thoughts are just 5%.
We Can Transcend Ourselves and Realize…
* Our behavior is influenced by our society. There are forces (a Collective Consciousness) beyond ourselves shaping our lives. This collective mind is a fundamental sociological concept that refers to the set of shared beliefs, ideas, attitudes, customs, identities, and knowledge commonly belonging to a social group or society.
* Our behavior is influenced by our brain chemistry. We all have an Inner dialogue including the positive bias in our mind, leading us to believe to anything is possible. But it also includes a negative bias speaking, stronger by three to one, lobbying for safe choices
* If you “decided” early on you were flawed, that “program” will continue to run throughout your life, quietly in the background, and coloring every decision you make, until you upgrade your programing.
You Are What You Do
Your brain is a complex interplay of many parts. Physiologically, nerves are like muscles in that they degenerate when unused. And you can improve with practice.
Think about a taxi driver. Studies show the part of their brains dedicated to spatial knowledge, or where maps are stored, are larger than the average person.
Physical acts, can serve as exercise for your brain, some strengthening the parts of the brain that connect the right and left hemispheres.
Studies show when someone assumes the superhero position prior to a big event, their performance is improved. Holding “power poses” or a “superhero” position before taking your proverbial stage not only makes you feel better about it…but studies show performance improves.
Two short minutes of intentional, open-bodied posing boosts testosterone, reduces cortisone (stress hormone), increases the “feeling” of being more powerful, and increases risk tolerance.
