Brain Tip to Peak Performance and Reduce Stress

Posted on February 27, 2012 by admin

I found this article and just had to share it with you!  I hope you enjoy it…

Are you experiencing lack of confidence, energy and personal peace? Are you stressed? Here’s a possibility why… Each part of your brain – indeed, each neuronal cell – has a mind of its own. And each area can operate as a unique entity, like individuals going about their own business, oblivious to what is going on in the other parts of the brain. When this is happening – and it happens quite often – your brain is not functioning at its fullest potential and will result in the above mentioned symptoms.

But imagine if these same brain areas start communicating with one another in a state of deep cooperation and enthusiasm. We can train our brains to do this, and when we do, we can accomplish astonishing feats with extraordinary ease and speed. This is coherence.

Researchers at Graz University of Technology and the University of Vienna in Austria recently found that brain coherence may play a vital role in optimal brain communication and enhanced reasoning. Other scientific research has associated coherence with exceptionally high degrees of clear or “pure” thinking.

This evidence suggests that coherence is a key that allows us to move effortlessly into peak states of performance and become fully absorbed in the creative flow of the activity in which we are engaged. We can do this in sports, and we can do this in every business venture we create.

Here’s an outer example of the power of coherence. .When, in 1850 in France, 483 soldiers marched across the Angers bridge in perfect harmony with one another, the entire bridge collapsed. The simultaneous rise and fall of the soldiers’ feet were so highly coordinated and coherent that the energy they generated literally vibrated the bridge’s suspension system until it came apart.

The same thing happens when you generate coherence in your brain. Old habits and useless behaviors – those ancient rusty screws that were needed to hold together the frail reality of a child’s mind – fall apart. And in that supremely creative moment where everything inside is working in perfect harmony, you’ll become more effective and successful at virtually anything you choose to do. Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi called this optimal state of performance “flow,” and brain scan studies have shown that it’s a neurological process that anyone can achieve.

Symptoms of decreased brain coherence:

Lack of organization

Mental and emotional inflexibility

Lack of personal peace

Lack of confidence

Lack of energy

Mental fog

Increased stress

Symptoms of increased brain coherence:

Peak performance

Clear thinking

Increased creativity

Reduced stress

Emotional flexibility

Increased happiness and well being

The key to becoming more effective and making your brain more coherent is simple: train your mind – on a daily basis – to focus on what you truly love, desire, and value, and you will transform your life as well as your brain. All you need to do is make a conscious decision to do so, and commit yourself 100% to carrying that decision out. And if you write down a step-by-step detailed strategy, a new research study shows that you increase your chances of success by 50%.

So I ask you: Are you ready to a make real change in your life… right now? If so, then pick up a pen and write your way to success.

You and Your Intuition. Can You Trust it?

Posted on February 20, 2012 by admin

Shelly was interviewing for a senior management position.  She was thrilled with the job description, excited about the pay, benefits and opportunities, and best of all the company really wanted her.  But as she walked through the halls to her third interview she couldn’t help but notice a sense of “fear” or “threat.”  It just didn’t feel right.  Rather then talk herself out of her intuition Shelly trusted it and turned down the job.  A few months later the company fell apart and had to go through major restructuring that would have left her as a new hire, jobless.

Can you trust your intuition?  The subject of intuition has always been shrouded in mystery, a bit woo-woo.  We want to rely on facts not feelings.  But is intuition often embedded in subconscious fact?  Neuroscientists think that it may be.  One of the reasons we get a hunch or feeling is that our subconscious mind which is a whole lot faster then our conscious mind picks up patterns based on past experiences, pieces them together and makes a preemptive plan before it ever hits your conscious mind.  You register it as a gut feeling with very little you can consciously prove.  The truth is though, your intuition is often as or more accurate then your conscious thinking.

My challenge to you is to begin to listen to your intuition. Honor it and learn to trust it.  It takes guts to do it, especially at first but the payoffs are huge!  I would love to hear your experiences as you learn to trust your intuition.  Feel free to come back and comment!

The Danger of Success

Posted on February 13, 2012 by admin

As the sad story of Whitney Houston’s death flooded the news this weekend it made me think.  What would make a mega star, someone who appeared to have it all, a woman who loved music and felt so blessed to have the gift of that amazing voice, sabotage in such an extreme way?  Why would she hide in a fog of drugs and alcohol?  While I can only guess, as I don’t really know her, I imagine it was some of the same beliefs and fears that you and I face when we reach for success.

One of the most common fears people face when experiencing success is the fear of becoming a target.  The truth is when we become leaders or stand out for our accomplishments some people do criticize.  During the height of Whitney’s career she was criticized for being a “goodie-goodie”, too perfect, a diva…  Her every move was followed and talked about.  So yes, success and fame can make you the target. The truth also is that success draws support and  love.  However, your brain naturally focuses on the criticism.  It’s a survival mechanism.  Think back to your last work review.  Your boss can say all sorts of positive things but if he/she mentions one area that needs improvement that’s what you focus on. Right?

The question then is, “How do we work with our brain to not just survive but thrive during success?”  The first step is to watch what we focus on.  By focusing on the fear of being the victim we tend to draw people to us that will attack us.  It’s just how it works.  So the way to avoid this is to begin focusing on people who support us.  Focus on how, with your success you can help others and the feeling of accomplishment and joy that will come your way.  My guess is that when you do that, you will be surrounded by support and love.  Will there be an occasional hater?  Of coarse, but you will have your support system in place and your focus on what you are doing to change the world.  You will have created a safe place and from that place of safety you will be free to create as much success as you wish.
