Happy Holidays Gift and post-Re-posted!

Doug Bench — Sun, 27 Dec 2009 04:24:56 +0000

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!

Your 500 lb Gorilla!

Over the last several days I have posted the following quote on Twitter from my “Revolutionize Your Brain” book: “Your brain doesn’t have to believe in your goals at the start. Nothing of any significance was ever accomplished by a realistic person!”

How to Raise your RAS

Doug Bench — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 18:45:00 +0000

Some years ago, after decades of driving a small car, I said “Oh what the heck” and bought a big Tahoe SUV. I had never had an SUV before, thought they were too expensive. And this one was no exception! (It cost 3 times my first house!) But, in the throws of mid-life crisis I said what-the-heck and got it!

Trust the Darkness!

OK! Here we go! Last week my desktop computer, which has my whole life on it, started shutting down on its own whenever it decided it wanted to! I rushed to backup every file I had but didn’t get finished since the darn computer shut down every few minutes. Thought I would lose everything including all my speeches, videos, book notes, etc.

Where Does Success Begin?

Over the last 9 years, I have read an average of about 30 pages/day from books and brain research studies and reports on the function and fitness of the human brain. If you do the math, that’s over 98,000 pages to date!

Give Your Brain Permission!

Doug Bench — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 09:01:10 +0000

If you are working toward enormous goals-make sure you give your brain permission to want what you want.

Many people have a set of self-limiting neurode patterns (memories) that keep firing from your past negative history and they subconsciously keep you from going for your goals. Overcome that by Innerstates (affirmations) repeated for 30 days+ that tell you its OK to want more than you have!
