Let us remember. We never deal with reality per se, but rather with images of reality - that , with interpretations. While the number of potentially possible interpretations is very large, our world image permits us to see only one - and this therefore appears to be the only possible, reasonable and permitted view. Furthermore, this one interpretation also suggests one possible reasonable and permitted solution, and if we don't succeed at first, we try and try again - or, in other words, we resort to the recipe of doing more of the same.
-Watzlawick, P. The language of Change, 1978, p 119

Although this blog presents potentially life changing thoughts and concepts, you need to move within yourself to achieve any lasting effects in your life. If you do what you always do, you get what you always get.

Wherever you go, your mental baggage travels with you.

To achieve your goals, you need to address your current internal dialogue and wheel of accompanying thoughts and replace them with new positive models to enhance your life experience

You need to invest a little time in your life for the imagineering process to produce your desired outcome.
I'm sure you would all agree that it is difficult to succeed in life whilst multi-tasking; jealousy, rage, frustration, stress, anxiety & resentment.
During the ages 0 - 7 years; you were producing predominantly theta wave, imprinting information and subsequently forming unconscious program for your life. However, as useful as this information may have been at that age, most people are still unconsciously responding emotionally to and in a sense, held captive by their outgrown imprinting as adults.

• The basis for your long-term change is to focus on what you want.
• You move toward what you want or away from what you don’t want.
• If you move towards what you want as a strategy, too strongly you may avoid doing necessary and unpleasant things.
• If you move away from what you don’t want as a strategy, you may never move until things get bad enough.
• Away from motivation causes inconsistent performance.

No one needs help doing the pleasant things in life.
The key to motivation is to be able to easily and effortlessly do things that are unpleasant and necessary that you don’t want to do, that will get you to the pleasant things you want to do
Motivation strategies are the flip side of your procrastination strategies you’re alignment determines the results you produce.
Perhaps your whole life circumstances may change fortuitously and dramatically one day, but if you haven't moved and evolved internally it may be a hollow fortune.
You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.
Many winners of lottery suffer from Sudden Wealth Syndrome.

After winning massive amounts of money, over a period of time the programming of their comfort zone surreptitiously returns them back to a semblance of their former life. However on returning they find they are locked out of their original experience. The sense of guilt at the sudden money ruins their daily lives.
They return spoilt, restless, dissatisfied and disillusioned often leading to self-destructive behaviours. Anxiety and regret / nostalgia is a warning from your unconscious mind to focus on the NOW channel and what you want. If you fail to pay attention you pay with pain!
The book Life after life describes experiences of people who had clinically died for one reason or another and then returned to life.
What was really interesting was not so much the after-life experience, but that on returning, the complete change in their priorities and values.
With a different set of ideals they subsequently enjoyed a completely different life.
It is entirely possible for you to impeccably change your life goals, values and priorities, and not experience clinical death, to do so.
Whether something is boring or interesting, useless or useful, astounding or banal is really up to how you internally, chemically label it.
You decide firstly how you feel and then what you think, and get busy in the chemical laboratory of your wishes, generating endorphins and adrenaline to chemically label further incoming information accordingly.

I wonder when you might decide to send Information to your long term memory and make change NOW.
Your goals are the drivers and fuel to power you out of living limbo.

Some people seem to be able to keep their wits well into old age. But what's their secret? New research reveals a host of factors that may contribute to a sharper mind late in life, including exercise, education, non-smoking behavior and social activity.

While other research has shown that genetics play a role in whether people get dementia, the study adds to a growing body of research that is uncovering ways you can up the odds of keeping your brain healthy and your memory sharp now and later.

The study tested the cognitive ability of 2,500 people aged 70 to 79 over eight years. More than half of the subjects showed normal age-related decline in mind function and 16 percent had a considerable decline during the course of the study. But 30 percent of participants did not show a change in their cognitive skills, and some even improved on the tests.

The researchers then looked to see what could account for this difference.

EXERCISE: They found that people who exercised moderately to vigorously at least once a week were 30 percent more likely to maintain a sharp mind than those who did not work-out as often.

EDUCATION: People with at least a high school education were almost three times more likely to keep up their cognitive ability than those without this education. And those who had a ninth grade literacy level were nearly five times more likely to maintain the ability (a specific word recognition test was administered during the study to assess the subject's literacy level.)

NOT SMOKING: There was also a connection between smoking and brain function in old age. Non-smokers were almost twice as likely to stay quick-minded as those who smoked.

SOCIALIZING: Finally, some social activity may also be good for the mind. The results showed that subjects who volunteered, worked or lived with someone else were 24 percent more likely to keep up their cognitive function.

"Some of these factors such as exercise and smoking are behaviors that people can change," said Alexandra Fiocco, a study author and research at the University of California, San Francisco. "Discovering factors associated with cognitive maintenance may be very useful in prevention strategies that guard against or slow the onset of dementia."

The results were published in a June issue of Neurology. The research was funded by the National Institutes of Health.

The study supports past research that has pointed to exercise as a way to protect your brain and prevent the development of cognitive disorders. Exercise stresses your body, and causes it to release certain growth factors that can strength neurons and keep them healthy.

Thoughts become your words, Your words become your actions,
Your actions become your habits, your habits become your character,
your character becomes your destiny... You think, therefore you are... your destiny.
Whenever you think someone witnesses . . . inside,
whenever you speak someone listens . . . inside,
whatever you do someone always notices . . . inside,
whatever habits you create someone will store . . . inside,
whatever character you create, you inhabit,
and there is always someone behind that . . . inside
Subsequently whatever destiny you have now created for yourself, there is always more . . . inside
