How To Reset Your Mind: Dopamine Detox

When dopamine levels are too low, people experience depression, anxiety and overwhelm. If you are someone who struggles with mental health issues, the good news is that you don't have to suffer anymore.

How to motivate yourself to change your behavior | Tali Sharot | TEDxCam...

What does make us change our actions? Tali Sharot reveals three ingredients to doing what's good for yourself.



Dr. Tali Sharot is a neuroscientist at University College London and the director of the Affective Brain Lab. She is a faculty member of the department of Experimental Psychology, a Wellcome Trust Fellow, and currently a visiting Professor at Harvard Medical School. Her research focuses on how emotion, motivation, and social factors influence our expectations, decisions, and memories.

1. Social incentive- we are motivated through the positive actions of others. Ex. If we see our friend post a picture of themself at the gym then we want to do the same.



2. Progress monitoring-  We are motivated by seeing progress. Ex. If we start working out too and we see progress by weighing ourself then that helps motivate us to continue.

The secret to self control | Jonathan Bricker | TEDxRainier

Jonathan Bricker's work has uncovered a scientifically sound approach to behavior change that is twice as effective as most currently practiced methods.  His new methods are driving new norms and new apps for how people quit smoking and decrease obesity, saving many people from an early death.



Jonathan Bricker is an internationally recognized scientific leader in a bold approach called acceptance and commitment therapy. A Stanford researcher called his use of the approach “a breakthrough in behavioral research [that] has major public health implications for the major causes of preventable death.” Bricker and his team, having received $10 million in total federal research grants to study this topic, are rigorously testing this intervention on multiple platforms, including smartphone apps, websites, and telephone coaching. His SmartQuit app for quitting smoking was recently launched and is now in distribution worldwide.



Summary

1) Be aware of the cravings whenever they appear, detect them and think "I'm feeling I'm having a craving for X."

2) Don't fight it. Let the craving rest in your brain and be conscious of it

3) Instead of shaming yourself for giving in to a craving, tell to yourself what you'd say to a friend of yours who's had a slip up.

Ho'oponopono: The Hawaiian Forgiveness Ritual as the Key to Your Life's Fulfillment

What is Ho'oponopono
Have you heard of  the Hawaiian therapist who cured an entire ward of criminally insane patients?
The therapist was Dr Ihaleakala Hew Len and he used Ho'oponopono to do it.

Ho'oponopono is  a hawaiian practice of reconciliation and forgiveness. It translates into english simply as correction.

The secret is there is no such thing as “out there” – everything happens to you in your mind. Everything you see, everything you hear, every person you meet, you experience in your mind. You only think it’s “out there” and you think that absolves you of responsibility.

In fact it’s quite the opposite: you are responsible for everything you think, and everything that comes to your attention. If you watch the news, everything you hear on the news is your responsibility. That sounds harsh, but it means that you are also able to clear it, clean it, and through forgiveness change it.

Dr Len's  had an idea of 100% responsibility. If one would take complete responsibility for one's life, then everything one sees, hears, tastes, touches, or in any way experiences would be one's responsibility because it is in one's life..The problem would not be with our external reality, it would be with ourselves. Total Responsibility, according to Hew Len, advocates that everything exists as a projection from inside the human being.


So how can I use Ho'oponopono 

The main objective of Hoʻoponopono is getting to the "zero state — it's where we have zero limits.
"To reach this state (which  Dr Len called 'SITH - Self-I-Dentity through Ho'oponopono') you can start by repeating the following mantra:

"I love you. I'm sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you."

It is a simple four step process.

Step 1: Repentance – I’M SORRY

Say "I'm sorry".The first step is to realise you are responsible for everything in your mind, even if it seems to be outside. Once you realise this it is very natural to feel sorry for all the troubles in the world. You can start by saying sorry for something you have caused yourself e.g. addiction to alcohol or smoking or being overweight or a lack of confidence or health issues. You could also say I realize that I am responsible for the issues(s) in my life and I feel remorse that my consciousness has allowed this.

Step 2: Ask Forgiveness - PLEASE FORGIVE ME

Say "PLEASE FORGIVE ME". It doesn't matter who you are asking. Just ask! . Repeat and mean what you say and be aware of the repentance from step 1.

Step 3: Gratitude - THANK YOU

Say “THANK YOU”. It is not important to whom or for what you are thanking. Thank various things.  Thank your body for all it does for you. Thank yourself for being the best you can be. Thank God./a higher power/ the universe. Thank whatever it was that just forgave you. Just keep saying THANK YOU. There is amazing power in gratitude and thanking.

Step 4: Love - I LOVE YOU

Say I LOVE YOU. Say it to your body, say it to God/a higher power/the universe.. Say I LOVE YOU to everything around you. The world , your environment, your home, the people around you, your successes and your challengers. Repeat it and mean it. Feel it. 

If this reasonates with you, here are some further resources to develop your understanding of this.

Emotional Freedom Secrets - Emotions Make Good Servants But Bad Masters

Imagine the impact on your life, if you could switch to high performance states at will.
Many of us believe that we can't control our emotions but let me ask you this.

Have you ever been feeling down and then had a call from an old friend and then felt great. Or have you felt good and heard a song that reminded you of an old love.  You've immediately and instantly changed from sad to happy and happy to sad. Nothing in the external world has changed but your emotional states have been changed by triggers.

NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) Calls these triggers Anchors. The ones I mentioned are external but you can  create internal ones that you can use at will to be able to change your state and emotions. It is really amazing!

Another example is to think of a really enjoyable experience, a time when you felt really good. Go into that experience  and notice what you see and what you hear and re-live this memory.Notice how you feel and when you are ready return to the present. Notice the impact this has on your present state, especially your posture and breathing. Although the sights and sounds of the past are gone, the actual feeling is still very real. Whatever you were feeling before this paragraph you have now put yourself into a resourceful state.

In contrast think back to a slightly uncomfortable past experience. Imagine yourself back in that situation. What are you seeing? What can hear? How do you feel? Don't stay long and return to the present. How do you feel? Notice your state and your posture and your breathing.

Now change your state, do some exercise or move.

Some people have mastered their ability to change their state at will, creating for themselves and emotional freedom that transforms the quality of their lives. They fully experience the ups and downs of life but they learn , move on and do not dwell on emotional pain unnecessarily.

We can influence our states , rather than simply react to what happens on the outside. In the last few minutes, you have felt good, then uncomfortable, then..however you feel now. And nothing has actually happened in the outside world. You have done all this yourself.

So how can you control your states and fire these 'anchors'

1. Identify the situation where you want to be more resourceful
2. Identify the particular resource you want, e.g confidence.
3. Find an occasion in your life when you had that resource
4. Select and anchor (a trigger) you are going to use.
           i) physical anchor - e.g. touch your thumb  to your index finger
           ii) hearing anchor - e.g. confidence
           iii) visual anchor - choose a symbol or remember what you were seeing when you were
                  feeling  confident
5. Step fully into the the experience of that resourceful state..  Relive that experience as if you are seeing it and hearing it. What can you see? What can you hear? What can you feel, taste and smell? Really get into it.
6. When it comes up to the peak , fire your 3 anchors (i.e. touch your physical anchor (eg touch your thumb to your index finger) , hear you hearing anchor ('confidence') and see your visual anchor..
7. Think of something else.
8. Repeat steps 5 to 7 a few times.
9. Identify a signal that lets you know you are in that situation where you need this resource. This will remind you when to use your anchor.

These techniques take practice and the more you practice the more you will be able to control your emotional state.

7 Principles To Live By For A Successful, Happy Life - Motivational Video

The Secret to Health, Wealth, Relationships and Happiness

The secret on Netflix is an amazing boost of positivity and focus. I would recommend watching this - see trailer below.





The secret is the law of attraction.  Everything coming into your life is  to  attracted to you by whatever you are thinking about.

THOUGHTS
Your life is a physical manifestation of thoughts in your head

You become whatever you think about - thoughts become things and thoughts have a frequency so think about what you want with all your focus.

If you think of what you don't want - you will attract it so it is important to think of only the things you want.  Don’t focus on what you don't want, For example, don't say  " I  don't want to be late"  or complain about how bad it is  as both these will create what you don't want.

 You are the masterpiece of your own life and you do it with your thoughts


FEELINGS
Feelings are a feedback mechanism of your body.

Many people just try and think good thoughts but nothing manifests in their lives. This is because they are not using their feelings.


The more that you  feel good, the more you will attract the things that make you feel good so you should feel healthy, feel prosperous  and feel love.

But how can you feel good if you are having a bad day or not feeling good. It's easy , just do one of the following.

• Listen to  music, 
• Sing something that uplifts you, 
• Think of something beautiful ( like a baby you love) - dwell on it  and use all  your senses)
• Feel love for  something/someone (e.g your pet)

HISTORY

The secret is not knew and has been known for thousands of years. 

In the bible in Matthew 7, 7 it states : Ask, and it shall be given you

The Buddha said "All that we are is the result of what we have thought"

In the famous story of Alladin, the genie always says "Your wish is my command". In modern versions the genie grants 3 wishes but if you trace the story back you find originally it was unlimited wishes. Think about the significance of that for a moment.

Whether you believe in God, or the universe or a higher power you just need to ask and believe and act in a way as if it was true and the manifestations of your wishes will appear.

3 STEP PROCESS
So how do you follow the secret. It is a simple 3 step process.

1.   Ask:
• Ask for what you really want. State it in the  present tense, e.g   I am so happy and grateful  that ....... (say what you want in the present tense as if it already is happening).
2.   Believe it's already yours
• You don't need to know how. The universe will rearrange itself to make it happen
• It is like a car driving in the dark. You cannot see the whole route, you can only see 50 meters ahead but you can keep going.
• If you start doubting, replace it with unwavering faith. You can do this by continually saying what you want. Your subconscious will eventually accept it as true.
3.  .Begin to receive
•  Feel good. It is a  feeling universe  so need thoughts and feelings to manifest in your life
• Go test drive your dream car, view your dream house. Start getting good feelings and associating them to the things you want. 
• When you feel  joyous, this is an intuitive nudge from the universe so act on it.
• Whether you think it is a big or small wish, it makes no difference to the universe so wish big.

Many people are stuck/imprisoned/confined  in their current circumstances. However your current circumstances  are the  residual outcome of past thoughts and actions.

So start to change your thoughts, expectations and feelings.

Begin with making a daily list of things you are grateful for.  You will then  attract more of what you want.

Whatever you visualise,  you materialize. Start  dwelling on the end  result that you want.  For example close your eyes and focus on the back of your hands, see the hairs, feel the skin. Now imagine your hands are on the steering wheel of your favorite car , hear the engine, feel the speed . Imagine feeling  happy, joyous and exhilarated.


Make sure you are persistent. Many people try and give up just before they reach success. As soon as you say "it doesn't work " then the universe will say "your wish is my command" so be persistent.

Don't worry about how it will happen - the  universe knows the shortest quickest way.

So decide what you want , believe you can have it, deserve it and it is  possible for you. Close your eyes,  visualise having what you want and feel feelings of happiness and gratitude. Then release it  into the universe and believe the universe will manifest it for you.



WEALTH
Declare what you want from the catalogue of the universe.

Make sure you think about what you want , not what you don't want. If you are thinking                about getting out of debt, you are still thinking of being in debt and that is what you  will  get .

Focus on Abundance, not scarcity.

Visualise cheques coming in the mail. Visualise that  money comes frequently and easily to you.

HAPPINESS
Go for inner things, inner joy then the outer things appear.
Think about things that make you feel happy and focus on these.

RELATIONSHIPS
Do you treat yourself the way you want to be treated? Make sure you treat yourself with love as you need to respect yourself before you can be in a relationship with someone else.

Love yourself ! This is not conceit but just love your amazing body and your wonderful self.

If you find yourself arguing in  a relationship, get a piece of paper and  write everything you appreciate about them,. Write a list  daily.

HEALTH
Dis-ease means your body is not at ease.  Diseases and  all stress are feedback from your body that you are not balanced.

Many people have healed themselves by continuously saying "thank you for my healing" and putting themselves in a joyous state (e.g. by watching comedies and avoiding stress).

Albert Schweitzer said all healing is self healing. Your immune system heals your body.
Disease cant live in body in a healthy emotional state.

Anything we focus on we create, if we are angry - we are focusing on the anger which brings more anger.


Jung said   "What you resist, persists ".  Don’t be anti, be pro. Focus on what you want , not what you don’t want . .Mother Theresa understood this.  She said she would  never attend an anti war demo. but she would gladly come to a peace movement.


ENERGY
Energy flows where attention goes. We are all energy. Einstein's famous equation E=mc(squared) shows that energy and matter are interchangeable.

You are an energy field operating in the larger energy field of the universe. Everything is connected. You are an infinite field of unfolding psssibilites.

What are you going to do nw= when you focus on what your want the things you don’t want fall away.  You are the author , the pen is your hand and the outcome is whatever you choose

Whenever you say   I cant do that  or she wont let me or he wont let me then every single I'm not is a creation. We are unlimited beings - we have no ceiling so don't limit yourself.

Your purpose is what you say it is. Your  mission is what you say it is.
You have a future of unbounded potential, unbounded possibilities.  You deserve to be happy,. You were  born to add something of value to this world so be best you can be .

Every single  thing that you’ve been though ,that you’ve come through  has  prepared you for this moment. You are the creator of your destiny. Imagine what you can do from this day forth with what you now know,. Will you seize the moment? No one else can sing your  song,  or dance your dance  or write your story. It begins now. I believe you are great. There is  something magnificent about you. No matter how old or young you think you are.  You now have the power that will take over your life, direct and sustain you. That is what I know for sure.

When the voice and vision inside is  more profound and  louder then opinions  outside you’ve mastered your life
 Life should be abundant--believe it , see it, act from it and it will show up for you
What you think and feel and belief and thank about , you bring about. That is the secret.

Become the deliberate creator of your life. Life can be wonderful  and should be and it will be when you follow the secret.

How To Be Successful In Life - The Underlying Principles of Success

Everyone wants to achieve the highest level of success. However, reaching that desirable level of success is not as easy as most of us perceive. To be successful, you have to sacrifice and forego majority of life's pleasures. Below is a list of seven guaranteed ways to be successful in life.

1. Do what you love

Unfortunately, most of us end up settling for jobs or careers that do not offer maximum satisfaction. Put simply, it is important to understand your passion and pursue it with all your energy and resources. The greatest regret held by a majority of the elderly is settling for what they did not love. To avoid having regrets on most of your early life decisions, be sure to pursue your passion. Doing what you love will ensure you remain passionate and highly motivated in your day to day activities regardless of the income. Be sure to discover your true purpose and work hard to achieve your goals.

2. Identify with a successful individual

As you look to achieve your dreams and initially set goals, ensure you remember that success has no secret recipe. It is advisable to identify with a successful person in your field of interest, and do whatever your mentor does to achieve his or her level of success. Once you have a role model or a mentor you associate with, it becomes easier to emulate the positive traits while learning from your mentor`s mistakes. Pick up the positive habits and ensure you avoid the mistakes made by your role model. By emulating a successful person, you increase your chances of succeeding exponentially.

3. Anticipate failure of disappointment

Good things never come easy, and if they do, then they probably won't last. Do not anticipate a smooth sailing in your journey to success. Instead, be ready to pick yourself up whenever you experience failure or disappointment. After all, successful people are characterized by their ability to remain hopeful even in their greatest disappointments. Therefore, regardless of how many times you fail, ensure you remain optimistic and confident in your ability to succeed.

4. Practice makes perfect

No one can succeed without commitment and adequate practice. To achieve the highest level of success in your respective field, it is necessary to take your time to practice until your skills become flawless. Contrary to popular belief, success is attained by maintaining a high level of consistency. Thus, to enjoy success, you must be willing to put time into strengthening your skills through constant practice.

5. Plan

Unfortunately, most of us assume that success happens overnight. However, success more often than not occurs as a result of adequate planning and organization. To achieve your set goals and targets, it is crucial to have a plan that will act as a guide. Successful people know what to do and when to do things; they just don't go about doing everything simultaneously. As a result, be sure to take your time and adequately plan for all your milestones. Set a schedule and observe it to the latter. Once you have a plan in place, it will be possible to measure your progress and consequently ensure that everything goes according to plan.

6. Be true to yourself

As you embark on your journey to success, it is necessary to understand that the biggest obstacle to success is yourself. Procrastination never helps; in fact, all it does is rob you off the time that you would otherwise utilize to achieve your goals. Therefore, ensure you are hard on yourself. That is, avoid procrastinating or letting yourself off the hook whenever you lack the motivation to do an important activity. Without self-discipline, it is impossible to achieve your set goals.

7. Enjoy the journey

Always keep in mind that everyone has an independent journey and purpose. Avoid comparing yourself to others as aimless comparisons can derail your development. Be patient and ensure you reward yourself every time you achieve your goals or initially set milestones. Indeed, it is only through self-love and appreciation that you can achieve the highest level of success. As such, give yourself treats and rewards that match your achievements. Remember, if you do not appreciate your achievements, no matter how small, then no one else will.
