I have posted a short content rich 3 min video on my “braintrainingguy” channel on youtube explaining one of my Brain School quotes. Take a look! Here’s the quote:

“When was the last time you did something with your brain for the very first time? DO IT EVERY DAY! Go to work a different way-do different things! Get weird to get wired!”

New Year’s Resolutions-an exercise in futility?

Doug Bench — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 18:56:55 +0000

It has been estimated that about 2/3 of the adult population create New Year’s Resolutions at this time of year. Unfortunately the shocking reality is that approximately 92% of these resolutions are broken before the end of January!
Why? Well if you are one of those who constantly breaks their resolutions, stop beating yourself up! It is all brain science.
Rapid changes in your behavior, when pushed by your willpower and conscious thoughts, have very little chances of sticking, without some very specific and detailed preparations in your all of your brain (conscious and nonconscious) brain beforehand and as ongoing maintenance. Permanent change in the brain takes 28-90 days of regularly repeated efforts before you have created enough new DSP connections in your brain to change permanently the flow of neurode patterns into a new habit. Most people quit before they get this far.
You cannot change your life by trying to change your life! You must change your brain, and to do this requires changing your thoughts in very specific ways. But the good news is that you can learn to do this! For more information, check out my 1 hr radio show from 12/30/09, that you can hear “on demand” at this link ENJOY!

Happy Holidays Gift and post-Re-posted!

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!

Merry Christmas!-A Powerful Brain Secret Gift for You!
