Practical Brainwashing Techniques
If you have read any of my posts, you will realized that I am on a rabid pursuit to become any amazing communicator.
Amazing communication to me is being able to inspire others into action and having them do so as the owner of their actions based on what I say.
What does that mean -
1. Inspire others into action - We take actions based on force of habit. However, we are subject to procrastination and inactivity if we are not motivated to move forward. Some people can get us to do things that we would not always want to do. I am that person in some areas of life and in some areas of life I am not.
2. Causing effortless action - Effortless action comes when somebody does not because I say but because it is there idea and they get their self interest.
For me, this is not about getting people to do things or creating inspiration but it is about working on myself to become the person who can successfully do .
Who do I have to become?
What is the gap between where I am today and where I want to be?
This morning, I read an article titled - How to Hack Your Brain? You can see the whole article here -
How to Hack Your Brain
Here is what I took away -
1. Get better at talking to myself - The self conversation has a huge influence over your perception of yourself and the actions that you take. This can be a simple exercise or a more complicated exercise. It is your choice as to how much you want to commit.
2. Practice expressing my emotions - This does not mean control your emotions but learn to access and express your emotions.
3. Get comfortable with being uncomfortable - This is an interesting aha moment for me. In the past, uncomfortable meant a bad thing or that I Was doing something wrong. The author suggests that w each put ourselves in uncomfortable situations to have us grow and become better people. One suggestion was for us to take an acting class that has us always be uncomfortable.
Take action today that is outside of your comfort zone and give yourself the chance to take quantum leaps towards your goals.
