How to achieve your change: designing your Support

As I said before in my previous article,s changing behavior is usually most difficult.

The two key factors that you need are Stimuli to change, and then Support. That earlier blog discussed your Stimuli.

This article will deal with the value of designing the necessary Support that will lead you to successfully changing your behavior.

I will continue by exploring two examples of desired changes that we seem to have the greatest difficulties in: weight loss and attitude.

After you have answered the first question of why you want to lose weight or have a different attitude, you then need Support if you are amongst 90% of the population to help you achieve this change. I acknowledge that 10% of the population can change as soon as they realize the stimuli for the change: they don’t need Support!

There are two types of Support: Internal Support and External Support.

The first is entirely you.

The second is external to you.

Here are some examples. More are available from my website and my books.

 

Internal Support

• Read your goals of weight loss or attitude change aloud morning, noon and night
Visualize with emotion daily how you will feel when you succeed in losing weight or changing your attitude
• Make your affirmations daily that you have designed
• Reward yourself when you have taken a successful step along the way of weight loss or attitude change.
• Impose a penalty on yourself when you have failed to do what you committed to do.
• And so on….

 

External Support

• Hire a personal trainer
• Hire an executive coach
• Use a counselor, psychologist or psychiatrist
• Join a gym
• Do ZOX Pro Training
• Have a wager with another friend who also wants to lose weight or change attitude. Bet that you will do better than they will!
• Get one or more friends to join you in a group to achieve similar changes.
• Create or join a master mind group
• And so on….

Successful people learn that most of us need Support. They are willing to be held accountable by ‘external’ forces that help them change in the ways that they want to change but are likely to fail.

Now, write down your own possible Internal and External Support Mechanisms, and the longer the list, the better! Use your imagination and remind yourself of all the possible resources you have been exposed to that will support you.

As I said, ZOX Pro Training is one of these resources.

My various blog articles on the Mind to Mind website will be helpful in provoking some ideas in designing your Support.

In Your Life, What Can Be Worth That Much?

Living and working with passion: why it matters so much …

 

Passionate individuals Achieve.

Passionate individuals Perform.

Passionate individuals Inspire.

 

Imagine tapping into your extraordinary talent and energy each working day. Picture the growth, the rewards and the results.

Sadly, not many people are passionate about their work. Think what are you passionate about? Yet, if business is to thrive in the 21st century, leaders must create an “extra-ordinary” level of commitment from their people. A commitment based not only on the mental – but one that also involves the emotional – passion.

Whilst Mind to Mind helps you to harness your extraordinary mental capabilities, we need the energy source of passion to capitalize on these capabilities.

In the late 20th century, information became the new business nightmare. Managers were surrounded, inundated – and often drowned – in information, much of it useless. So much so that electronic overload threatened. This is another reason why ZOX Pro Training is so relevant and important.

The “Knowledge Age” is passing as we rapidly head into what I refer to as the “Passion Age”. This new era will see the mastering of the difficult part of business – people issues. Physical resources are the easy part. That is why so few organizations successfully access the knowledge and wisdom and passion of their people: it’s just too hard.

Passionate performers make no distinction between labor and leisure, education and recreation. They simply pursue their vision with a commitment and energy sustained by their passion. Do you know what does it mean to have passion!

Effective leaders and performers understand the principles of motivation, that’s a given, but motivation and passion are not quite the same. One is a reactive process, the other a proactive one. Managers, coaches or corporate mentors all motivate, certainly, but this is achieved externally. One can encourage a person to be motivated, one can even teach them how to be motivated, but passion comes from the soul.

 

The Pain-Pleasure Equation

Leaders who want to access the passion and knowledge of their people must first understand the major drivers of human behavior, the pain-pleasure equation. It’s simple to define: how much pain is an individual willing to accept for a future pleasure?

Consider sportspeople and musicians: they are willing to undertake years of what is at times painful training because of the promise of pleasure that inspires them. Now translate that level of passion to your own life and to your organization:

1. What benefit will employees derive from contributing their passion and knowledge to the business?

2. What pain or disadvantage will employees reduce in their own lives by doing so?

3. What is the present pain that blocks employees from contributing their passion and their knowledge?

4. Can employees clearly see the pleasure they will gain from contributing the passion and knowledge and facing, or experiencing, the pain of doing so?

5. Is the pain of contributing passion and knowledge greater than the pain of being “safe” in a low performance environment?

The successful builders and leaders of tomorrow’s world-class businesses and lives will be those with a strong empathy-based style, who create a passionate, results-driven, working environment. Tell me examples of passions in life.

Your Word For Today is “Spry”, S P R Y

Be “Spry”

 

Building a Good Vocabulary

Do you remember when your grade school teacher would give everyone the word of the day? You were to use it in as many sentences as you could throughout the day. This is a great way to build a good vocabulary…  O N E  W O R D  at a time. Actually, at that rate, you would probably be reincarnated to your next life before you really would have a substantial vocabulary.

Now, before I tell you the exciting bits, I am going to tell you about the word “spry”. It is a very good word, because it can be used in many ways. It is an adjective. Which also means it can be used to describe other words, a person’s mood, an activity, and many more fun things. So, for spry’s sake, here is what it means:

Synonyms for Spry:

brisk, nimble, agile, lively, active, sprightly, vigorous

So, now you know what spry means.

Here a couple of examples of using spry in a sentence:

Gee, he has a ‘spry’ walk.

I am planning to have a nice ‘spry’ day!

You could even use it in combination with another of my favorite words, “glib”:

I really enjoy a ‘glib spry’ conversation! (Oh! I just remembered. I hadn’t given you the other word yet. Oh well… just a bit, in a ‘glib’ sort of way.)

Don’t worry, it is just all bushwa! (Now there is a very nice sounding word. You would think it would be French… of sorts.)

By now, you may be a little peeved with me for using words that you are not comfortable using. Well, go to your shanty and have a little whinge. When you decide to do something about it, come back and see us.

Really, in the world of today, it is not enough to have a good vocabulary, but you really do need to know what words mean at a deeper level; their vibration, their impact.

I recently queried a person living in Canada about the spelling of their name. Even though the person was Canadian, the name turned out to be Welsh, the country of origin was Wales. My personal curiosities lead me down strange paths from time to time.

(Here is something fun for the single guys: The next time you find yourself in the awkward position of the opening line to start a conversation, ask an intelligent question that makes the other person think a little; but not so much they go into meltdown over it. You never know where it may lead. You may even get the opportunity to ask a second question. NOTE: Stay away from the topics of politics, sex, and religion. You might go for something like, “What is the spelling of hyperbole?” Just make sure you pronounce it right. If they know the correct spelling, they have potential.)

I would like you to share the fascination and joy of this seemingly boring world of words with me. But you have much to do if you are playing catch up.

There is a training you should take a look at… Gee, I must have forgotten what it was called… It had such a catchy name, too… It just has to be here somewhere…

2 Pages Per Second – Minimum

2 Pages Per Second – Minimum

by Thornton Massie Tice

My son came to me one night while I was working on the computer and asked, “Poppa, can you find something about speed reading on the Internet for me?  I’d like to learn it.”  “Sure” I replied, and within a few seconds I had a page of speed reading courses that were offered. One particular one caught my eye. It read, “25,000 words per minute minimum!”  I chose that one and clicked on it and up popped a presentation by a company named Brain Management®.  I read through their web pages at “www.eBrain.com.au” and “www.ZOXpro.com” and discovered that they don’t actually teach speed-reading. They teach “Mental Photography®”.

 

Photographic Memory

I became very excited because they seem to offer a lost piece of my life experience that I thought that I would be able to have from the time that I was a child. When I was a youngster my father was a newspaper editor.  At night he would sit down and literally flip through the pages of a book and sometimes hand the book to me and say, “Here Son, read me a sentence from anywhere in the book.  I thought that it was some kind of trick, but he could do it even if I went around the corner into the hallway.  Dad explained to me that he had a photographic memory.

My Mother recently told me, Dad would bring a stack of books to bed each night and read them all in just a few minutes. She asked, “Thornton, what are you doing?”  He stopped flipping the pages, looked at her and said, “Reading.”   “No one can read that fast.” she replied. “It’s impossible!”   He assured her that he could.  I thought Dad would always be there for me and never asked him to teach me how this was done.   My father died when I was twenty years old. I have lamented my not having gotten an understanding of his photographic memory.

When I read the information on Brain Management and their course on Mental Photography I shouted, “Eureka!”  This is something that I want to make sure that all of my children have.” Now they have made it easier to get over the Internet with ZOX Pro Training.

 

A NEW way to Learn How to Learn

Richard Welch, CEO and Founder says that everyone is born with the ability to learn by Mental Photography and in fact everyone uses it to learn everything – until we are about five years old.  That is when we enter the public school system and learn the Rote-Memory System of reading.  I believe that is when the brakes are put on our learning process and we move from potential genius into slow thinkers that store most educational matter into our short-term memory rather than our long-term memory.  Learning by Mental Photography places matter into our long-term memory.  That’s why my father could remember every word in the dictionary without “memorizing” the words.  Excitedly, I e-mailed Brain Management and told them I wanted to take my whole family to America to learn this wonderful ability that my father had.

 

Brain Management – Powerful!

The Brain Management Seminar is truly a Whole Life Enhancement Course, and it is powerful!  Mental Photography is used for much more than assimilating information.  It is the life force of the course.  Mental Photography is the Key for making this all work. As a Brain Management student, you experience Mental Photography, take tests, etc,… then they teach you ways in which to recall that information when you ‘need’ it.”  It is a very specific method of directing information into the long-term memory.

 

Mental Photography bypasses Dyslexia!

During the class, adults and children with dyslexia quickly overcame that problem, and after the seminar function with excellence and confidence in education and writing, and any other challenge.

My father stacked up degrees during his lifetime.  He sort of collected them.  After all, all he had to do was mentally photograph the books into his long-term memory and take the exams.  Now I will be able to learn what was natural to me as a child, and take that ability with me to easily further my education.  Why not!?  Others are doing it!

There are several languages that I want for my children and myself to know. By Mentally Photographing the cross language dictionaries of any desired language into the long-term memory, it is possible to know the whole vocabulary of a language in as much time as it takes to flip the pages of the book.  Then by Mentally Photographing a study book for that language, the only thing you’re short, is knowing the sound of the language.  For that you could listen to tapes or speak with someone who speaks that particular language.

 

Limitless Brainpower

The possibilities are limitless with this kind of brainpower.  For years scientists have told us that we use less than ten percent of our brain’s capacity.  Now I have found the way back into the other ninety percent and intend to see that my wife and children learn it and move through life with the confidence that will be theirs with this command of powerful intelligence that is naturally available for all of our children.  This reinforces my personal long held understanding that all of mankind is born genius and then robbed of it by being taught an unnatural method of learning – “reading”.  Mental Photography puts real meaning to the phrase, “Be all that you can be!”

 

Empower Yourself!

Successful Brain Management and Mental Photography Seminars have been taught throughout the world and offer FREE REFRESHERS FOR LIFE.  They are committed to the success of their students.

Finally, this superior training is available on the Internet at http://ZOXpro.com/ ZOX Pro Training. It is deceptively over-simplified, and driven to help you succeed.

Top 7 Self Improvement Training Qualities

Whenever you think about self improvement, who are you thinking about?  Are you thinking about the person living next door?  Are you thinking about the person that is providing the information?  Of course not;  you are thinking about yourself!

You are thinking about how you can take charge of your life, be an independent thinker, and deciding the steps you want to take in life.  It is all about YOU!  So whenever you think about SELF improvement, you really need to take a good look at what that means.  Do the trainings you consider use achievable, down to Earth methodology?

1.    NATURAL: Whatever you are considering, is it natural?  In other words, can your brain automatically do these things once you understand the structure?  Are you simply born with it?  (Electronic machines and devices are NOT natural.)

2.    AUTOMATIC:   If you are not automatically using whatever this method is, can it be turned over to the brain to act upon it automatically?  This usually goes hand in hand with “natural”.

3.    COMPLETE:  Are you presented a complete system?  Many organizations makes it part of their marketing to only give you pieces.  They will tell you many reasons why they do this.  But they will not tell you the truth.  The truth is they will make a lot more money from you by segmenting their “system” into sections.  They will bring up further trainings and higher and higher price tags as you move up.  Even after you have achieved their highest level, you may not find what you were looking for in the first place.

4.    FLEXIBLE:   Is the system that you are using flexible to assist you in ALL your struggles?  Is it usable throughout your entire life?  If you have a system that is natural and automatic, then your benefits will be felt throughout your life.  Many organizations have systems that require you to adapt to their system.  Since their system does not adapt to your specific needs, it may not be what you want.  Most people prefer a system that adapts to them as an individual.

5.    LEARNING:   Does your system give you as much access to your brain power as you can ever have?  Does your training exercise and strengthen your brain?  Does it give you the ability to learn more than ever before?  Will it give you the ability to make clearer decisions by cleaning out the mental cobwebs?  Will it automatically give you more memory and more access to your memories?

6.    SUPPORTING ATTRIBUTES:  These are exercises that when combined intensify all of your abilities synergistically.  This is often expressed as “child-like wonderment” of your world around you.  Does your system do this for you?

7.    SIMPLE:   Is the system easy to learn and use?  Many systems that are available are highly complex and convoluted.  You want a system that is straight forward and easy to understand without some archaic language or “special” names used for everyday applications.  That just confuses you and makes you reliant on them for your answers.

As you know, there are many systems out there that make claims they can solve all of your problems.  If you are experienced with such trainings, you will agree with me that most do not stack up.  You may have done so many of these that you have come to expect failure instead of success.

I am going to tell you a big secret:  ZOX Pro Training will not solve your problems.  YOU will solve your own problems.  We show you how.  ZOX Pro Training gives you the complete system for you to achieve your successes.  It is geared for you to have results.

ZOX Pro Training even has as the ultimate natural enhancement known to re-establish connection to your photographic (eidetic) memory – Mental Photography!  There is no better way to learn more than ever before faster, and exercise your brain at the same time.

As for all the points I mentioned above;   ZOX Pro Training answers YES to all of them.  You are a whole person.  You deserve a WHOLE system that works – from the start!
