The Neck-top PC

One million GB neck-top PC

• Brain is like a super computer but without an instruction manual– The brain is made of billions of neurons– The efficiency of the brain is not in its

size but on the number of connections that the neurons make

– Brain is not naturally hard wired; it can be evolved

with living in routine• We need to upgrade our brain• When we stop learning, it becomes

hardwired, riddled with automatic programs.

Self Talk – Definition and Implications

• Every single message you got is recorded and stored• We tend to repeat the recorded

messages again and again• When repeated, it creates bigger

pathways…

Self Talk

• General• Positive • Negative

Self Talk - Types

2) Every thought or idea produces a physical response

3) Law of reversed effect4) New habit patterns can be formed with

visual images

Rules of Mind

5) Habit patterns can be formed with auto suggestions

6) Attitudes and habits are best learned or changed without effort

7) Once habit pattern has been established, it tend to remain until replaced with a new pattern of behavior

8) Habit pattern can be formed without repetition

Rules of Mind

1) To heal our selves2) To change attitude / behavior3) Self motivation4) To push your limits (athletes)5) To have positive relationship with others

Self Talk - Implications

1) Positive – Use affirmations daily. Talk to yourself very positively. Have ready made statements. Use ‘law of repetition’

2) Negative - Rubber-Band Snap: A trick is to walk around with a rubber band around your wrist; as you notice negative self-talk, pull the band away from your skin and let it snap back. It’ll hurt a little, and serve as a slightly negative consequence that will both make you more aware of your thoughts, and help to stop them!

3) General – Practice silence

Leadership Takeaway

and push the limits.• Can decide when to release an emotion• Can empathize with ‘followers’

2) Shoot positive statements to others so that others start ‘positive self-talking’ or affirming.

3. Use ‘Law of Repetition’ in speeches• ‘We are confident ’ by Subash Chandra Bose• ‘I have a dream’ by Martin Luther King Jr.• ‘Yes We Can’ by Barrack Obama

4. Realize that your comment creates a series of ‘self-talk’ in the minds of others; use words like money
