How to Win All the Marbles At School and Career.
It’s Positive Priming And Is a Little Bit Weird.
My background is law so I am a certified skeptic andncontrarian by training. My mindset is if you are a nsuper expert in your subject, you still have to present nreplicable evidence and proof or it’s no go with me.
Would you believe that specific words you hear or use, and your environment at home and office can affect your behaviors and longevity? Wait. Words and your environmentncan make you age faster-or-slower?
“Extraordinary Claims Require Extraordinary Proof”, Carl Sagan.
1. The secret to losing fat around you belly is “talking” to your body. When you use your Big Three Senses, Visual, Auditory and Kinesthetic to “show and tell”nby directing your concentration to the specific target you, your subconscious mind produces results. n
2. Mental Movies of your goal of losing fat around you
stomach or acing your exam, presentation or interview,nare your road-maps to success. If you cannot keep your success pictures in mind, you do not progress as fast.
3. The words and thoughts you consistently flash, hear n and use help decide your success. n Examples: when adults read words like “wither”, n “prune”, “wrinkles”, and “wilt”, “fade”, “illness” and n “die”, your body posture alters, and your speed of n movement slows. You start to “act” old.

Bicameral Brain
Our brain is divided into “thinking” and “automatic”, and into Consciousness and Subconsciousness.
Which is more powerful?
Our conscious mind, (left-hemisphere) rules language, planning, and logic, while our subconscious is in chargenof behaviors, mobility and pattern recognition.
What else?
Subconsciousness runs our emotions, instincts and survival (fight-or-flight).
Read the following carefully, it is scientific fact.
Your conscious mind can handle 50 bits of informationnper second, while your subconscious easily controls
11 million bits of information per second.
Breathing, heartbeat, and blood pressure, together with your immune system, behaviors, mobility and important decision-making are run by your (right-hemisphere) non-conscious mind.
New York Times, 7.31.07
Homo sapiens (all of us) hear a little voice in our mindsnoffering comments and suggestions 24/7. Awake, it is called Internal Dialogue, Self-Talk, and Stream-of-Consciousness.
When we sleep it comes in the form of dreams. We always hear from our talkative working partner.
Neuroscientists estimate we are on the receiving end of 50,000 internal thoughts daily.
These auto-suggestions activate neural software systemn(programs) about your favorite foods and drinks, who you like and want to associate with, and your most important decisions. We often follow its advice.
Positive and negative Priming offer us “unconscious behavioral guidance”. It furnishes internal suggestionsnabout what-to-do-Next, during the day.
How Come?
Your subconscious consists of your oldest brain, the onen we have in common with Reptiles and other animals. It isn instinctive and dedicated to your survival.
Your limbic system is the second oldest brain dedicatedn to emotional reactions for survival of our species.n (Google: Dr. Paul D. MacLean on our Tripartite Brain).
Your newest brain is our Neocortex (new-brain) then organizing, language based, planning brain. This isn your conscious mind.nn (Google: Dr. Aaron Kay, Stanford University; Dr. Mark n Shaller University of British Columbia.
Please remember this to improve your success inn acing school and career. “Your subconscious cann be activated and programmed and is your “invisible”n partner.”
Priming yourself positively is using your consciousn mind to communicate (give orders) to you
subconscious.n n Affirmations
You use words, symbols and your environment to accessn software systems leading to success. It causes us to n notice certain things that excite us to action, and ton “feel” and “act” in order to reach these goals.
Scientific research indicates when we program ourselvesn with “affirmations” and consistent “mental pictures” ofn goal seeking, we perform significantly better on exams,n presentations, and interviews.
Examplesnn a) “Every day in every way, I’m speedlea
ing better andn better”, repeated for two-minutes, while mentally n visualizing the strategies required to be learned, cann double your skills after 21 days of practice.nn b) “Every day in every way I am acing my SAT (or LSAT),n and my scores are getting better and better.”nn c) “Every day in every way I am acing my presentationn (or interview), and reaching my goal, and feeling n better and better.”
Endwordsnn Neurological studies over the past 50 years prove you
subconscious can help improve your cognitive test n results, I.Q., memory, and creativity.
If you motivate yourself by changing your office and home n (environment) by adding pictures of your Significant n Others, growing plants, and decorate using bright n colors, the results can be extraordinary.
Scientists have produced significant improvement to n physical health, eyesight, hearing and flexibility n through Positive Priming. n n Google: “IdeoMotor Effects” to discover how ton communicate with your subconscious for personal n improvement.
