How can you use the power of your mind to make the changes you want to get the benefits

that you would love to have? Hi, I’m Mike Lally of knowyourmind.com

Your brain is like a well-oiled machine. It can be likened to a super computer.

And like a computer, it can do extraordinary things once it has been programmed.

However, a machine cannot change and grow. A computer needs a program, it needs direction.

But your brain can change and does grow.

Overcoming problems can be a challenge for most of us.

It’s easy to feel drained by their constant presence.

Problems arise in financials, relationships, health, careers, family, friends and so on.

It almost as if they are hardwired in the brain.

We seem to be naturally forced to have them.

To get what you want can require a superhuman effort mainly because of these irritating

issues that refuse, steadily refuse to go away.

And maintaining a huge effort, well it’s just too difficult.

Meeting a challenge on occasions, yes. But maintaining a massive effort on a daily

basis is too much of a grind and given problems will not go away for any extended period,

how do you step up, how do you learn a new skill, how do you get the kind of the change

that you truly desire, the breakthrough that you want?

A big problem is that everything today seems to require speed.

Instant results are demanded. If you haven’t got a solution in 5 minutes,

you may as well give it away. It’s almost as if instant remedies for all

kinds of things are the Holy Grail of the 21st century.

Whether it’s faster broadband, instant reviews of everything under the sun, 24-hour news

cycles, live streaming, mobiles always in hand, texting and selfies galore, pop culture

gone mad, more tweets per minute than you could possibly read in a lifetime, rapid personal

communications of every shade and colour, fast food.

On it goes, all accelerating at warp speed every single day.

Do you want to read a novel? Say you’re not serious! Way too slow!

Now, the brain prefers a tortoise and hare approach.

If you intend to learn something really quickly – by cramming it in – it’s likely to

be ephemeral, it just won’t last. Maintaining improvement and making a skill

permanent basically requires a slower, steadier approach.

So, a slow learner is a better learner. A new skill of any consequence is likely to

require hard work. Perseverance and staying the course are essential.

Sustained practice is the key. But the good news is that you can change your

life, anybody can change their lives once they decide what they want, and they have

the passion to keep going irrespective of the frustrations.

Even better news is that your imagination is your best friend.

Mentally imagining a positive outcome really pays off.

It seems the brain does not distinguish between something that actually happened, and just

imagining that it happened. So, why not think about what you really want,

make a plan, and decide to keep going irrespective of the frustrations and the problems that

certainly will arise, and begin by imagining how fabulous you will feel when you have got

it.

So, go ahead and program yourself. Embark on a slower, steadier, more focused

journey and enjoy the ultimate success you most certainly will have.

So thanks for watching. Go to knowyourmind.com and let me know where

I can send you something I believe will be of benefit to you.

Remember, you have many faces, many skills, many talents, and many attributes, so why

not to put them to use? Use the power of your brain, and your rich

imagination to steer you towards something that you feel really passionate about and

have always wanted, but maybe felt was too daunting, or beyond you.

It isn’t!

So, until we chat again, take care, cheerio for now.
