Prime Your Internal Dopamine Reward Circuits Daily - How many times have you left work and thought what did I actually achieve today? Recording your Daily Wins, no matter how small, induces neuroplasticity, which changes who you identify yourself as. This phenomenon called 'The Winner Effect' in neurobiology, is also linked to 'Gamification' inside your programmes. Acknowledging wins increases the dopamine receptors in the brains Anterior Cingulate Cortex, which makes you feel great, smarter and bolder. Read the Blog - One Lamppost at a Time
Prime Your Brains Happiness Circuits Daily - Scientific studies have proven expressing Gratitude creates significant activity in the Ventromedial Prefrontal Cortex, which wirers and fires neural connection to the bliss centre by inducing feel good neurotransmitters that are responsible for happiness. Plus, it fosters cognitive restructuring by evoking positive emotions that increase your vibrational energy levels, simultaneously regulating the stress hormones. Significant activity also occurs in the right Anterior Temporal Cortex, meaning you remember or recall being happy more often.
Prime Your Brains Focus Circuits Daily- Your Reticular Activating System, (RAS) -This powerful subconscious radar filters out all the distractions and information that is not important to you. What is Important to you is established by what your conscious mind is focused on - Your Goals for That Day / Week. You can then zero in on the important 2 percent and become absolutely mega-productive through this 'Time Intent' strategy, (The outdated concept of Time Management is about finding more time to do more stuff; 'Time Intent' is about making decisions now to create future choice).
Keep these logs in a folder and schedule time to look back on them at the end of every month and we promise you will feel pretty stimulated!

Cognitive Priming Process (Summary)
You must practice for a minimum of 30 days for the process of lasting change in the brain to begin. Through a more focused mind you will begin to identify opportunities and synchronicities.
Appreciate Each day all the good things that are in your life and life itself… Be grateful for who you are along with everything in your external environment.
Meditate daily as this is the gateway to your subconscious mind and the method to align your mindset with your action set that's required for change.
Emotionalise your Intentions for your life and for the day ahead… Rehearse BEing the person who succeeds in your intentions seeing it in your minds eye and feeling it in your heart.
Affirm your Greatness and realise what you consistently speak with emotional intensity, you will experience, create, and become.
YOU Manifest what you Give Your Attention To in your present reality. You can only ever experience in the present moment so be mindful of the continual expectations you are setting.
1 Neuroplasticity, also known as brain plasticity, is the ability of neural networks in the brain to change through growth and reorganisation.

Guided Meditation (Heart-Brain Coherence)
The practice of meditation and mindfulness can assist you by altering your mind/body state. Meditation gives you time for contemplation and the capacity to take you past the chaotic Alpha pattern brainwave, (normal awaken state) and into more relaxed brainwave states. In this space the most important thing to understand is that it suspends our beliefs (all of them, empowering and disempowering) and our emotional association to them through our Limbic brain, (our emotional self). This allows us to tap directly into our subconscious, devoid of the usual trigger mechanisms that are by design programmed to induce fear, trepidation, etc. when we contemplate change.
In our normal awaken state these triggers would signal hormones to be released into our body such as cortisol and adrenaline, our natural defence mechanisms to prepare us for change, such as inducing the emotional signal fear, even if that is only a mental projection into the future. These hormones induce a short term stress state, to prepare our body to fight or flee from the real situation or mental stimulus, where we are in survival mode, not creative mode. In sport this gives us a powerful stimulus and perhaps advantage to compete strongly, however not so if it is holding us back in other areas.
For example, if you use your amazing imagination to mentally picture and feel yourself as the leader or business owner you truly want to be, and that mental visualisation is incongruent with how you currently identify yourself as a great leader or owner of an amazing business, then this will trigger your natural defence mechanisms and induce hormones that will supress your feeling toward being that person or experiencing that which you desire. Understand this is your limbic system within your brain doing its job to protect you, however, it can also hinder progression in reality.
Meditative states suspend all neurological defence mechanism and opens a gateway where you can use visualisation with feeling and affirmations techniques to script or code better empowering beliefs, and habitual patterns. Over time these become your go-to to references. In other words your upgraded cognitive identity as that person you want to be and experience.
Meditation also has a powerful balancing effect on the entire endocrine system. It increases levels of the neurotransmitters serotonin, that give a sense of well-being, dopamine, which regulates attention and learning, and feeds our reward stimulus; and oxytocin, the trust hormone.
‘The electromagnetic fluctuations quiet the nervous system, permitting your brain to shift into a significantly lower vibration, you enter a dream-like state, and the body becomes unaware of its physical form. These states of hyper consciousness create a magnetic force and produce effects on your whole body when practised regularly, and most significantly creates coherence with the electromagnetic frequency of your heart... You are in balance.
In 1994 researchers discovered that the heart contains 40,000 Neurites. They also validated that the heart emits an electromagnetic field 1,000 times stronger in amplitude than that of the brain.
When the frequency emitted by you heart matches that of your brain this starts the process of literally altering your mind. Neurons start communication with each other through synchronized electrical pulses, producing increased learning and creativity.’
There is a lot of hype around Growth vs. Fixed mindset, it is good analogy, however it is situational based. In reality you are either in Creative mindset or you are in Survival mindset, where no growth can take place.
The tremendous amount of electrical activity being produced inside your body when you are in the meditative creative state, ultimately boosts emotional intelligence, motivational intelligence and adversity intelligence creating resilience.
To Succeed In Your Leadership, Business and Life You Will Need to be Congruent with the Three C's:
1. Courage. The courage to know that success lies on the other side of your fears, self-doubts, and resentments.
2. Consistency. All the things you are good at took time and relentless practice... Therefore to get good at tapping into intrinsic motivation and upgrade your identity as a leader you can either choose consistent discipline in the present or regret in the future... Your Choice.
3. Commitment. Do what you committed to do, (to yourself and everyone else) when you committed to do it. in the way you committed to do it.
Emotionalisation (Visualisation with Feeling)
The secret weapon of elite athletes. Sports visualisation engaging feeling the experience has long been used by professional sports people as rehearsal tool and mental programming technique.. All we are doing is bringing that same edge into the business world …
Bob Bowman was Michael Phelps’ coach since he was a teenager and has included mental imagery or visualization as a part of Phelps’ daily mental training.
BOWMAN: “Mental imagery was best to concentrate on these tiny moments of success and build them into mental triggers… The actual race was just another step in a pattern that started earlier that day and was nothing but victories. Winning became a natural extension.”
Self-discipline is the major ingredient for achievement, and you have bags of it, though you may not yet realise it. Anything worthwhile takes time, hard work, belief and discipline... Always remember your behaviour is governed by your self-images of achievement and without these images you will be unable to motivate and mobilise yourself to achieve...Sensory imagination 'which you must feel through your heart' (involves visualising with all 5 scenes engaged) when mentally rehearsing experiences not yet realised, it stimulates the skill of self-discipline, AND WHAT WE CALL EMOTIONILSATION:
A dynamic process of self- discovery and self-creation. The emotional by-product of a clearly defined, sensory-rich vision is a deep, compelling conviction that your purpose and goal is achievable...
Anchor this deep within your mind and heart… With enough self-discipline you can achieve anything you set your mind to, no matter how much hard work it takes you can and will succeed!
“Most people believe the challenge is to
change the world around them…
Without realising the real key to
success is to change the world
within them”.

Affirmations: Re-affirm Your Inner Greatness
What you consistently speak with emotional intensity, you will experience, you will create, and you will become. The words that you speak with emotional conviction, especially those of your inner voice become the life you live – empowered or disempowered.
Your strategy should never be to ignore the problems of life, but to put yourself in better mental emotional state to creatively move past them, through them or solve them.
Through your inner critic or inner wisdom, which ever one is louder, you are continually affirming to yourself all the time through your self talk... Whether you can do something or cannot.
Firstly start to become aware of your self talk.
Then you take back control of your self talk and cultivate your inner wisdom using these affirmations to put yourself in a higher energy vibration, a better feeling place, from where you can set positive expectations.
Affirmation is the process of reflecting on core aspects of the self. Scietific research shows that self-affirming interventions can reduce stress and defensiveness, while in sports psychology, for example, research shows it can boost short term personal performance and help individual respond adaptively to setbacks.
Each short affirmation relates to a challenge, so dip in and out as you need to. Say the affirmation as many times as you need to if it relates to your current challenge, scream it with passion inside your head and visualise as you say it, with feeling, your experiencing the sheer joy of reaching your short term goal or overcoming a current challenge. This will start to upgrade your sub-conscious belief system.
