Success - Knowing what to give your mind

I used to be a "mental mess." I had no idea what was going on in my mind and I would often refer to this thing we call BRAIN as some crazy uncontrollable mad man in my head running the show.

Then I started getting in there, learning how to alter the processes and became what I call "internally adept." If you can direct the show, the outcome is great. If not, get ready for a huge mess!

Paying attention to your mind, listening to the messages and then giving it what it needs is a critical part in my strategies for achievement.

For example: Self esteem plays a bigger role than we think in our action. We act only in accordance with the level of esteem we have for ourselves at any given moment.

If someone said something to you that made you feel incompetent, that can have a radically negative effect on your work, what you'll produce and definitely how you feel. Even though people can't control how we feel, we're social beings.. it's easy to get down when someone says you're inept.

So, having mental programs firing off that give you the feeling of incompetency is detrimental to your growth and productivity so being aware of that, identifying the problem and then IMMEDIATELY tending to it, is a great strategy for what I call "reintegration."

Say a couple well languaged, well structured phrases to retrain your mind to feel good and to up your level of esteem you have for yourself. Think about all of your accomplishments, create pictures of them in your mind and repeat phrases telling yourself how awesome you are. Say them out loud, with intensity and with enough repetition that they stick in your brain.

This literally retrains your brain (kind of like affirmations, but with more intensity and emphasis on well languaged sentences or phrases).

One of the quickest ways to retrain yourself is to give unquestioned commands to your nervous system. Thanks for reading!
