I want to wish all of you the most Joyous Holiday Season Possible! You have nowhere to go but up!
Here is a gift that can keep on giving if you apply its brain science secret as a habit. I call it “Trigger a Thunderstorm”
If you study our books, CDs and other Brain Science researched based information and techniques, you know that you can increase your brain’s capacity for achievement by stimulating your brain to create new connections due to the discovery of the process know as neurogenesis (brain plasticity).
But what the scientists also discovered was that as these new connections are being created in your brain, if you are in a highly charged emotional state, the brain will release proteins. It is a little known fact (Don’t you dare share this secret with your competition.) that when you are highly emotionallly charged, the new connections, created in the presence of these proteins, the connections will be stronger, there are more of them, and their firing threshold is lowered.
To you and I this means that anything we learn while in this emotional state, will be stronger and longer lasting and we will be able to recall (remember and re-fire) these connections (actions) much more easily (thereby overcoming procrastination!). AND all of this will occur AUTOMATICALLY!
Therefore, when you set out to learn a new task, skill, or knowledge-base, FIRST, trigger a thunderstorm of emotion and your skills will be much greater! This thunderstorm of emotion doesn’t even have to be real. You can generate it artificially by concentrating on very emotional memories. But you must be very careful NOT to cross over into the red-zone on this emotion as too much can in fact stop the formation of new connections.
You can learn much more of course by sending your mind to Brain School and learning ALL the details of this and all our brain research based advanced achievement systems.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from all of us here at the Brain Training Academy, home of the Brain School!
