Achieving Success T o T r a n s f o r m Y o u r L i f e 1. Clearly decide what it is you want. What you are absolutely committed to achieving. 2. Take action ! Take massive action to make it happen. 3. Notice what’s working and what’s not working. 4. When things aren’t working, change your approach continually until it does work and you achieve what you truly want A Guide To Making Decisions • Remember the power of decisions. • Make a true intelligent commitment to your decision. • Make decisions often. • Learn from your decisions. • Stay committed to your goal, but flexible with your decisions about how to get there. • Enjoy making decisions. I can have more than I’ve got because I can become more than I am. Neuro-Associated Conditioning Changing The Rules ! 1. Realise what it is you want to change ? What is stopping you ? 2. Get leverage. Connect and associate everything you want with pleasure and everything you don’t want with pain. This will help to distance your mind from painful experiences. 3. Interrupt the self-limiting thinking. Think of a funny word, situation or experience whenever you feel sceptical or fatalistic. 4. Use pleasure associated questions when asserting and modifying your plans, i.e. “ how will my life be improved? ”, “ will it have any positive side effects from which I can develop further? ”. 5. Make it humorous. For example, turn destructive experiences into cartoons insulting the object of your interruptions. 6. a) Invent a new empowering alternative perspective for painful neuro-associations. b) Continue conditioning the negative self-talk by repeating the empowering alternative thinking. c) Reward yourself with an ‘itsy bitsy’ reward, tangible or intangible, whenever it is done correctly. 7. Is the new way of thinking ecological and effective in your environment? Ecological checks follow. a) Associate pain with old way of thinking. b) Associate pleasure with new way of thinking. c) Is it in line with your values and morals? d) Will the new way of thinking have any of the original benefits? e) Make sure the change is long term. f) Realise what causes you to revert back to the old way and ensure it does not occur. e) Do you now feel certain you will stick with the new way?  1991 “Awaken The Giant Within” -Anthony Robbins.
