How Do I Retrain My Brain?

So you have heard this before:
Retrain your brain!
Can that be done?
The fact is that one of the most important organs in our body is also one of the most misunderstood. We are assimilating more information about our hearts and our kidneys, but what about the organ that is responsible for our decision making?
Men are addressing the organ that fuels their love making performance, but what about their career performance, starting a new business, losing weight or becoming a better athlete?
The fact is that we can retrain our brains and it can greatly impact our lives, by doing something that I have been teaching others to do just that with extraordinary results.
Maybe you want to write your own book, build an extraordinary vocabulary, become a better student, get a job, start a business, you fill in the blank.
Anything that you can imagine now becomes possible. My teaching focuses on sharing with the student how to send pictures to your brain which will modify your behavior over time and help you to set goals and achieve them.
It is a great way to reprogram your thoughts and if you are like me and many of my students over the years, you will find great comfort in this thinking formula.
Imagine having a problem or goal and creating pictures in your mind and then delivering them to your brain. Once your brain has shared the picture with you, it becomes your partner in helping you solve that problem or reach that goal.
Let me explain this phenomenon to you in this way. Sometimes you take note of a car that is really hot and you imagine what it would be like to own and drive that car. One day you see it for the first time and then as soon as your mind takes a mental snapshot of it and sends that picture to your brain, it seems like you keep seeing this car all over town. What is the reason for this? Did you see this car before the day you first took the mental snapshot? I would suggest to you that you did. Probably, you saw this car several times. In fact, it was due to the repeated times that you saw it, that you finally took that first mental picture. Of course, there is the chance that you did notice it only once and it was so noteworthy, so breathtaking, that it stimulated to you to take a mental snapshot on the spot. Regardless, your brain participated in the process and it will continue to do so whenever your eyes catch sight of this car until you decide that this is no longer a significant event.
As I write this, a suspect waits in an LA jail after being rounded up in a manhunt which took several weeks after a beating at Dodger Stadium on Opening Day. A trigger in catching this suspected thug was police sketches which landed on billboards throughout LA over the past several weeks. The billboard premise was simple. Send this picture to your brain and perhaps, your brain will remind you that you have in fact seen this man and then you can share that information with us and we will share a reward with you.
Apparently, the plan worked to perfection. A parole officer of this suspect saw the likeness and also noted that the suspect had changed tattoos around his neck as if to disguise what had been there at the time of the assault.
By observing events in life, you will always see what I have seen for years. Your brain can change your life, if you know how to make it your partner.
So how do you start? You begin study with someone like myself who has made mental imagery their life work. Who are some of the best candidates for brain training?
1. Seeking a new business or a new job
2. Looking for love
3. Athletes at all levels
4. Entrepreneurs needing more business
5. Looking to lose weight
6. Need to sleep better
7. Build an extraordinary vocabulary
8. Become a better student
9. Become a better speaker
10. Become a better writer

And that’s just 10 categories of students off the top of my head.
What will study be like? What are some of the things our one-one study will include?
1. Intense brain retraining and perfecting the process of sending pictures to your brain
2. A strong mental imagery booklist from my personal files
3. Focusing on your objectives for brain retraining
