Using NLP to Develop a Perfect Memory

Have you ever forgotten someone’s name?

Of course, you have… it’s one of the most common (and embarrassing) situations.

What about a phone number?  Or a to-do item on your task list?

If you’re like most people, you think you have a less-than-perfect memory.

In fact, you’re wrong... Research has shown for decades that the subconscious mind absorbs and records at an astonishing rate (over 2,000,000 bits of information per second) that your conscious mind (which processes only 126 bits per second) isn’t even aware of.

The NLP Marketing Experiment: Is Your Subconscious Mind a Sponge?

Are you an “aware” person?

Most people think they’re pretty aware and observant, but the fact is, our conscious awareness is tiny compared to the subconscious mind.

I’ll give you an example…

Take a moment to look around your environment. As you do, I want you to notice everything brown in your environment. Just take inventory of everything brown in your environment.  Take about 30 to 60 seconds to try this.

Great. Got it? Good. Now...

What Is NLP: Neuro-Linguistic Programming?

Neuro-Linguistic Programming took the world by storm, with a new empowered way of looking at how the human mind works. Initially developed by Richard Bandler, John Grinder, Robert Dilts, and a hand-full of other pioneers in the 1970s, NLP has expanded greatly, both in usefulness and in Practitioners around the globe.

At its core, NLP is about producing excellence. If you want to produce excellence in any area of life — in your career, in personal relationships, in sales, in sports, in health and fitness, and other areas of life — Neuro-Linguistic Programming is likely to have answers for you.

To begin to define NLP, let's break down the name into its three constituent words:

The Five Second Rule: An NLP Perspective

There has been a lot of talk lately about “the five second rule,” the subject of a book and media campaign by Mel Robbins.

The premise is that your brain is your enemy when it comes to success and achievement, so you have to "trick it" to be good at anything.

The author explains how procrastination and apathy caused her life to spiral out of control – a failing marriage, a career she hated, etc. – and the only thing that turned it around and “fixed” her life was counting down backward from five and taking action the second she gets to zero.

Why?

A Homeless Man Sleeps in the Back of a Denny's Restaurant...

Most people assume he's a dirty menace. He's kicked out in the middle of the night because he doesn't have enough money for a cup of coffee.

They don't realize the impossible downward spiral he's stuck in that put him there. They don't know that, even though he is homeless, he cleans and grooms himself every day in a locked Del Taco bathroom and washes his clothes at the laundromat with the precious little money he has to keep his sanity so he doesn't slip down the rabbit hole of becoming a "bum." They don't realize the support of his family and friends has run out (or at least he thinks it has).

They don't know him and they don't want to. Would you want to know him?

Homeless... Again (An Escape from the Comfort Zone)

Twenty-three years ago, at just 19 years old, I was homeless.

I wasn’t on drugs or alcoholic. I was just an angry, misguided kid with problems I didn’t know how to handle.

I spent the better part of six months sleeping on a park bench in Tustin Meadows Park in Tustin, California, USA.

I am now homeless again. But not in the way you might think…This time, things are a little different.

Are You at Cause For Your Health? An NLP Perspective

One of the biggest issues we have facing us in the modern world is that people have been conditioned to believe that health is not a personal responsibility.

Society blames health on our genetics, our upbringing, our environment, our government (or lack of government), for-profit corporations, our age... anything BUT the personal choices we have made and the personal choices we continue to make each and every day.

People have been conditioned to believe that health primarily comes in a bottle full of chemicals, reactively given to you only through the permission of a medical system that has assumed far more power than it can competently handle. THIS is primarily why we are in the position of health we are in today as a society...

What are you digging for?

One day, a man decides that he wants to be wealthy, important, successful.

So he goes down to the river and decides he’s going to dig for treasure. He’s looking for buried cash.

He digs and digs for hours on end, but finds nothing but rocks.

He digs through the morning and beyond lunch, completely forgetting to eat. He digs through the afternoon and into the evening, frustrated that all he keeps finding are rocks, and tossing them aside.

My NLP, Hypnosis and Motivation Quotes

Some people have been asking me to post some of my quotes in one place. Here you go:

“Think of all the things you want in life. All of your hopes, dreams and desires. They are the cost of not stepping out of your comfort zone and not taking action.”

“Transformation begins not by waiting for the right circumstances, but my making commitments that create the right circumstances, right now.”

“Ships have heavy anchors that keep them stuck in one place. You have an anchor, too… it’s your index finger. And as long as it is pointing at someone else, you’re stuck. Want to raise your anchor? Learn to be at Cause for everything in your own personal reality. Then you can sail anywhere.”

“The worst things in life are not those things that happen to you, but rather the things you never do. Excuse is the monster in Opportunity’s closet.”

The Moment of Now is a Gift... That's Why it's Called "The Present"

You will never be more ready to achieve your dreams than right now, because your most important resource is time. It’s the only thing you cannot get back.

Get out of your comfort zone and believe in yourself as much as I do. All it takes is a decision and for you to take action right now.
