688 | Do You Wire Your Brain For Judgement?
Own Your Choices Own Your Life
In this episode, we talk about the awareness of if you are wiring your brain for judgment, criticism or comparison as it relates to social media use. I recently heard a quote on the Growth Day App with Brendon Bouchard, the link to try it out is below. In this episode, we discuss: 1) Judgments and decisions saturate people's lives. Most people scroll past 1000 posts a day which means you have wired your brain for judgment comparison and contempt 1000 times over on a minimum per day. This is with 1-2 hours of scrolling per day. 2) How can you become more intentional with your time...

687 | Speak Your Vision to Life

685 | Belief Will Take You Further Than Talent
Own Your Choices Own Your Life
In this episode, we talk about how belief will take you further than talent. Even more, than this, it requires that you have belief to get started. It is our job to raise our beliefs to match our vision, not just the belief but also the identity of the person who can bring that vision to life. I heard this Henry Ford example, he could have said I can’t build cars because if they break down, we have no mechanic shops to fix them, no idea where we will make the tires or the parts to fix them, he could have said: “there’s no point in starting.” There has to come a moment where...

info_outline#282: The Power of the Subconscious Mind
In this "Monday mindset'' episode, I am sharing some of my recent epiphanies and understandings about the power of our subconscious mind. I recently completed my NLP Practitioner certification and it was such an incredibly eye opening experience and a massive learning curve for me. Through this process I became certified in 6 different modalities including Clinical Hypnosis, EFT Tapping, T.I.M.E Techniques, Life and Success Coaching. NLP works so well because your subconscious mind creates your reality. Nothing has any meaning except the meaning you give it or attach to it. Communication between people means our words make up 7% of communication, physiology makes up 55% and our tonality (how we say what we say) makes up 38%. We can never control how someone receives our message, it is up to them how they receive it.
In today’s episode we discuss:
1) NLP, the formula for success begins with Cause is greater than Effect. Learning how to move from living in effect to living at cause was where all of my transformation began.
2) NLP is a model for success. It’s the blueprint for success and the language you learn to speak to talk to your subconscious mind. Your subconscious mind is where 95+% of your thoughts and beliefs are formed. Think of the iceberg picture and all the work we never see below the surface. This is why long lasting change does not come from “thinking good thoughts”.
3) Your mind is literally where everything is truly controlled. How you move, if and when you take action, what you think, what you feel, how you decide to live everyday life etc. To access your subconscious mind, you must learn how to speak to it and this is exactly what NLP (neuro-linguistic programming) is.
3) We receive up to 2.3 billion bits per second of information into our world at any one time and we only take in what is important to us. We then apply our own filters, we delete, distort or generalize the information. We decide what is important and this depends on where we are at at any point in time. We do this based on things like time, mood, language, memories, decisions, beliefs, values and identity. This represents our internal representation of the information we receive.
4) This internal representation of how we see things creates a picture in our minds of what we are receiving and our physiology creates our state and our state determines our behaviour and that determines our results. Our state is incredibly important to how we perceive the information.
