ICon’s - Instances of Conditioning

2011-07-09T11:32:00.004-04:00

ICon’s

Instances of Conditioning

We are subject to Instances (or an Instant) of Conditioning (Identification) in mind & thinking about lower order thoughts (thinking-feeling-evaluating-etc.)

Still spiraling ongoing at a higher order of abstractions vs. first order sense-data.

We have a tendency to impose map, persuade self & other vs. allow/permit influence – flow into us.

We are usually “mapping” – Seemingly “Reversing the Natural Order” (AK) – Imposing our maps as if they are the territory.

Or the territory “leads to” our creating a map in response to it & we then come from that map which may not fit the territory now (vs. “back then when”)… in vivo, in-the-moment. Ipso facto.

After all it “was” shaped &/or “designed” in response to a specific situation or issue &/or ‘territory’ & is likely no longer befitting for the “you of now” but the “old you” instead.

IOTA

Instance(s) Of Total Awareness

We are (or can be) aware of our (& others) psycho-logics + or (–) & can shift to more positive & eco-logical & don’t have to condition associations or relations (DN-A) really to function We can respond extensionally, reading emotions & adjusting & adapting, evolving & evaluating more correctly & neutrally, objectively.

We must be totally aware & conscious of the tact we are taking or doing at the time of internally. NowKnowing – be flexible vs. responding ‘conditionally”, associationally, relationally from past objectifications.

Higher Order Thoughts – holding an emotion/a belief (BIAS)/Intention, a value, a previous identity (identification - intension), etc.

NOWKNOWING

What is the intent of the “instance of conditioning”? What is YOUR intent in this instance? What do you want? How can you go about getting what it is that you desire?

We can adapt/adjust (psycho-logics) – NOW – eco-logically – per +intent & map our identities as we wish. Or we can intentionally ‘hold onto’ or choose to “flex & extend” knowing we are flexible & fluid beings capable of growth, change & more learning, evolving – ALWAYS REMEMBER TO REMIND YOURSELF.

HOT ALOT Do you get HOT ALOT?!?

2011-07-09T11:29:00.004-04:00

Recently, in a dream-genio state, I presented myself with what I think is a handy acronym/tool.

A question came to me: Do you get HOT ALOT?

What unfolded then was a little tool for me to re-mind myself to remember that my Higher Order Thinking About (my) Lower Order Thinking can cause either + or negative results/effects/consequences/etc.

It reminded that when I get HOT (+/-) I need to realize what Affect it creates and how that Effects what I am thinking-feeling-saying-doing-viewing-etc. (etc. is used to denote there is more).

Then I got – S.O. – Semantic Over-reactions/Over-identifications added to this –

SO HOT ALOT – helps me to know that I need to watch my "semantic reactions" and the "identifications" (ways of T-F-E-etc. that may not be accurate/correct/"objective"/etc.) and that I can choose to or not to "over-react/over-identify", with the Higher Order Thoughts/Thinking I am doing or have done. :)

Do you Get HOT ALOT?!?

======================

What are you HOT ALOT about? What HOT drives you?

When you evaluate (semantic reactor and transactor you are) is it eco-logical, good for you and your inner environment (environ - my word use) and/or your outer environments – your "neuro-linguistic (verbal/word/language generated) and neuro-semantic" (evaluational) environments you create and live by/within?

Now, +ly thinking, I think it is ok to Get HOT ALOT!

I like the HEAT metaphor – Stands for Human-Engineering Achievement Technology.

"Put the HEAT on yourself first & then others." Sometimes we're required to do so.

Just a little humor I guess given to me by my unconscious, served up late at night...

ADD-ON

Many so-called “grown-ups” do not like the direct approach, do not like to be corrected or shown to have been mistaken, or accept suggestions. Among other things it may have to do with a sense of power (or not) in the situation. With a child that usually does not come into the picture. Most individuals in my experience, are not “conscious time-binders”. As such they miss opportunities to learn, add new maps, update old ones, do things better, improve their lives, etc.

Thinking About it… Higher-Order-Thinking – HOT HOT A LOT HOT Times

When to get HOT and when to Not. How to get HOT Positively!

State Throughout Strategies as Skills

2010-10-20T22:19:00.005-04:00

The Power of Kinesthetics of Your States and Strategies and Skills

How do you use the state aspect of your experience within what you are doing and how you are doing it?

What state(s) (with related kinesthetics) are you using to conduct yourself or to perform and are these states providing you the experience or quality of performance that you desire?

How much do you understand the high level value of tempering your “mood” throughout whatever it is that you do and allow yourself to enjoy and to appreciate the times you are having?

How much more aware and skilled can and will you be, intentional, in how you do respond mentally-emotionally and physically to what is going on in your environment, or with event-happenings?

Can you not allow yourself to have much more fun and much more pleasure in what you do in life?

Is it not possible for you to enjoy even more the time you do have to realize that you are in control of your states and that you can direct and aim your behavior or your performance in a much more powerful and productive, more elegant manner?

Utilize Your:

* Neurology
* Psychology
* Physiology
* Expressions
* Movement
* Gestures
* Voice
* Tonalities

Underneath and within and around there’s always state – in a sequence or spin and it impacts how you do respond more powerfully and productively in a situation – who you are – and how you perform at your very best.

You’ve got to get that, don’t you?

Get it that is... Into your way of being and doing! Your best resources with a playful attitude!

Thinking-Preferences are always within the Mix…

Is it not true that all this is about how we think and perceive and the impact this has on how we conceive as well as receive through our experience?

* Processing, Motivating, Communicating, Relating, Inspiring, Leading and Managing

The styles and the sorting filters we use – and do – consciously and unconsciously – In response to situations (and those in them) determine the impact and effect we generate on ourselves (especially) and on those with whom we come into contact.

So, does it not just make complete sense that you would pay attention to and focus a little energy and effort into knowing and doing with these flex-able “features” more intentionally so that we are able to flex and extend and adapt or tweak how you do sort enabling you to understand and reach each other for far more effective communication and suitable results.

Makes sense?!!!? Does it not?!

Elvis Lester

“Changing” and Trying On Different Meta-Programs

2010-10-20T22:15:00.002-04:00

Which meta-program(s) (thinking-preferences) do you get kind of “stuck in” that seems to keep from advancing or coming from your mastery?

* Those that appear to interfere with your manifesting your dreams and living your life more fully and completely with more choice and determination?

Meta-Program Tips & Tricks

* Identify Cues of them – What is it (in this specific situation or experience) that triggers or cues you to do a specific way of “thinking-feeling-perceiving”?
* Go into light Trance – Swish to you where there’s no problem – piece of cake.
* Install a new, better, more fitting or positively different sort/style of thinking and responding.
* Say Yes to it – Permit it! Accept and Appreciate it!
* Future pace with the added choice of a more tailored Meta-Program – new, better fit for the situation or experience and Notice the impact and difference it makes in you and your response or reactions.

Exercise

1. Identify a Not-So-Good Meta-Program – pattern of thinking, feeling, responding, perceiving…

2. Identity Meta-Program you want more of

a. A Preferred way of thinking-feeling-perceiving (in the situation)

b. Could be complementary/reverse of original

3. Try it on – Use the “thinking-preference” and Step into the situation/experience - Come from it and see/view/experience the world through these parameters.

a. How much of it is required for desired state results?

b. How does it affect you and why shift to it?

4. Notice and Check Ecology – Does it “Fit” for you

a. How you’d be (or behave)?

b. What kind of responses you’d have and the…

c. Impact on you and your behavior on self and others, around you

5. Give permission to use – Install It

a. Go inside and ask self/check if… Any part of you objects? If so, Determine +intent or meaning and value of it. Address – Add/edit to it as required to balance effect towards Desired State. Make it a better fit for you.

6. Future Pace it

a. Name it – Call upon it in context or situation, experience/event. Access and Apply

b. Run it – Practice it in the future situation/context/etc.

c. Anchor it in so that you can re-access when the “cue” comes allowing you to “link and launch” this way of thinking-feeling-doing.

Now - Go and DO it! TRY IT OUT in an actual situation or context. FIND Out what it does for you - Whether it is now an option or CHOICE for you that leads to a win-win for you and those around you.

Got ATTITUDE!

2010-09-21T12:14:00.005-04:00

What makes up your Attitude? What is in the “mix” when you get an attitude and get in there and “Kick” it up a bit!?

More commonly referred to as your MindSet = Attitude!

Make sense? The whole enchilada.

MindSet drives behavior & defines the person’s behavior and performance in terms of who they are in a situation and context and how the respond-react.

One thing we need to be cautious about and aware of is that we can over rely on a certain attitude (or mindset) and it can lead to the person “over-doing” the State it puts them in and develop a “habit” of “saying and doing and viewing” in the world and their experience of it.

We can now refer to this set of elements as a Mega-Program consisting of –

State
VIBE
Identity-Role
Meta-Programs (thinking-preferences/sorting patterns and filters)
View – Point-of-View of self/situation/other/etc.
(Perspective – Perceptual Position)

These can become a habit or habituate – become a repetitive way of functioning and the state gets solidified and reinforced and impacts the person physically and chemically – physico-chemically – and turns into a mind-brain-body state.

Sometimes, we refer to these states as “stuck states”, so to speak, in that MindSet we over rely upon or possibly overuse... in the past. :)

We must recognize these mega-states or Mega-Programs and their elements that make them up. We can make a difference through our communications and assist the person (including ourselves) through pacing and adjusting or adapting the patterns of thinking-feeling-evaluating-etc. and lead to more productive ways of saying and doing and viewing.

We can change our perception-conception, how we learn and act and communicate – so can our organizations. We just have to shift and adapt – these very “features” – knowing and using the knowledge of meta-programs and mega-programs can help us to make the changes required to evolve our organization and those within them.

Key Skills in working with meta-programs (and Mega-Programs)
Sensory Awareness – detection of meta-programs
– Uptime – sensory Acuity
Rapport – Pacing and Leading, Matching/Mismatching
Calibrating state and programs
Commitment to practice and development and use of skill to mastery
Identification of triggers and anchors, cues (both verbal and non-verbal) that give you clues as to what initiates or instigates the use of specific meta-programs or patterns of perception-conception and behavior

Can you “change” your attitude? You bet you can!

There are plenty of opportunities to learn more about meta-programs. Speak to your NLP trainer and coach for more information and how you can enhance your skills at communicating and leading, persuading with meta-programs. Or call me, and learn more about what we do at ExecuLearn®. Or better yet, join me at our next webinar - Conversations with Elvis - http://execulearn.webex.com to build your skills. Thank you!

PsyMapping™ Ourselves (and others) - Advanced Skill-building

2010-09-21T12:00:00.002-04:00

Meta-programs (thinking-preferences and how we sort and process information) and knowledge of iVIBES help us to map out how we (and other people) sort and perceive and how we respond and react in situations. We can even predict some of their responses fairly accurately, but never exactly. We can even begin to detect how people will possibly respond and prepare ourselves for those interchanges or exchanges (one way).

Exercise
1 Identify the meta-programs at play with the individual in the situation (from previous knowledge of their behavior or direct observation) – the drivers (most impactful ones) and the other key or detectable meta-programs.

2. Identify the Identity-role the person is coming from and what their VIBE is:

What they value
What their intentions or plans may be
What they may be thinking or believing
What they state as to expectations and…
What their emotional reactions and/or State they are in.

3. Step back and look at the person in the situation and ask yourself the question – inquire:

How is this person possibly going to respond-react in this situation knowing what I know about them and their behavior in this environment or context?

4. Check it out. Remain open. This is an option of how to preempt your response-reaction.

Don’t impose your map on them. Just examine if what you predicted or expected is close or accurate and to what degree.

You can also do this with yourself to prepare for situations that are challenging and that may stretch you and/or your abilities.

Determine what the desired meta-programs are in the challenging context.

What are the qualities or features that will determine if the person (could be you) will be successful at functioning in this environment or context?

Does this person possess those or does the environment or context support them or will it or is it capable of doing so?

Noticing and detecting Meta-programs is a critical and a key skill in effective and “Complete Communication”. Working and playing with them is an advanced skill you will learn more about in our courses as we proceed.

People have patterns of processing, communicating, conceiving and perceiving. We can match, mismatch, pace and lead those and assist self and others in stretching and learning to respond and react in more powerful, positive, productive and valuable ways that will lead to better and improved performance that is profitable for you and your organizations. Think about it. Choose how you prefer to think! That’s power isn’t it!?!

Time is on Your Side InMind - Thinking of Time in Differing Ways

2010-09-21T11:45:00.003-04:00

Did you know you can move in between time – not just fast/slow/no time – but in between – all around and inside time? Let's call this "psytime" (someone else created this word not me;>).

If time is relevant can it not be irrelevant? What does that mean? Time being irrelevant. You know there have been times for you that it has been. Haven't there?

If Space and time are connected as we are told – what if they were not for a time being - and you could really be in another time in the same space in mind? You do that too don't you. :>)

What if you can be at another time in another space? Hmmm
Of course you can.

With your memory, your imagination are not all of these moves possible for you to make in mind with "time"?

What if you can be in the same space at another time? That happens a lot doesn't it. Ha x's 2

Can’t you be in another time in another space?
Let's hope so - the word Vacation comes to mind.

If it is true that whatever we can pretend we can master (Milton Erickson) - then what if time is irrelevant (we are told it is relevant)? For each dictum we live by what if there is another side to it - another way to relate to it? What if we can (and probably do) move in between time? Or - even yet - all around it - within it - inside of it.

We can manipulate time as it is a concept can't we. Our perception of it - again - we do it all the time!

I know this may sound a little “far out there” but what the hey. Here we go. What if within a specific space and time we can imagine such a thing as a "time tunnel" that we can move to the next best time and experience it (kind of like fast forward and play out a scenario and experience it and come back with the new found knowledge)... can you not do this in mind now?

What if we think in terms of time as moving not only from one time to another but in multiple directions (multiple points – or threads/strings) at one time – however you choose to represent it. This may organize our ability to master how we view and ultimately use time as a generative and evolutionary tool.

The way we are taught to view "time" is useful but limited. Iam asking these questions of you to answer "How can you utilize “time” to have more fun - completing multiple projects moving them forward simultaneously albeit some "times" at an unconscious level?"

The amount of detail you can add to your very own representation and repertoire of skills related to time is unlimited.

Just think about it and with it. If you can think it – you can do it.

Whatever you can pretend you can master!

That is what we are told.

But for those of you who don't do what they are told - well that is another story at another time - maybe the same place. :)

Elvis Lester

PS: Just a couple more questions and then I'll go to my "time tunnel" and into tranceland...

How many sides to a message are there?

How many dimensions to a message are there?

What if there are not only 1-2-3-4 sides but there’s many more!?

How could that understanding shift how you communicate and relate?

PsyQ and PsyROI

2010-09-16T11:10:00.003-04:00

Exactly. What is your return on investment on the psycho-logics (psychology/psychological system/functioning) you use & do?

Apply this to the workplace/employees and encourage thinking-feeling-acting-evaluating-etc. in terms of how productive and how eco-logical/congruent it is to/with the organization's iVIBES.

Identity
Values-Vision
Intentions-Implications
Beliefs-Benefits
Expectations-Environment
State-Strategies-Skills-etc.

We begin to realize that we do have an "ROI" on psycho-logics.

Yet, is it aligned with and helping to produce maximally?

Yes, EQ – Emotional Quotient/Intelligence – matters and is important, AND so is "Psycho-logical"/Psychological Intelligence & Quotient – "PsyQ" – which would include EQ/EI as a "subset".

Specifically, we need to break it down into what are the elements of excellence and the thinking processes that propel, that motivate and inspire and those that lead to limitation or lack, de-motivation, blockage or slack, inaction and procrastination, frustration and intolerance, etc.

This is where NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) and NT (NeuroTechnics™) are excellent and at the leading-edge in performance improvement & therapy, coaching, consulting and modeling.

If one is not "aware" of and/or able to read and direct their own "psycho-logics" then this is a skill-base that needs massaged. Thus the reason for my creating the PsySkills™ Trainings and PsyCoaching methods.

What PsySkills are required for your employees to perform at their best? Your teams?
What neurocise (exercise for the mind-brain) do you or your employees need to do to improve and strengthen your psyskills?
What iVIBES are needed or required or are apart of it?
How does all that affect or enhance PsyQ? Serve You?

If PsyQ is low it is likely that PsyROI will be as well.
Make sense?

PsyROI
What is your's or your organization's?

How masterful are you and your employee's at the psychological skills – PsySkills?

Mastery at Execution – at producing valuable and worthy performance resulting in profit and aligned with organizational Identity, etc.

How could you use these distinctions in what you do?
Comments & Questions are welcomed.

Conversation-Changes-Communication

2010-09-14T17:40:00.004-04:00

Conversations Change Communications – Holding the Client InMind II

Provide the client a comfortable setting – environment – to address any issue or situation.

Attend to the client’s Saying & Doing & Viewing – How they perceive and conceive - How they relate to the “problem”.

Encourage them throughout the process to appreciate whatever information comes along as valuable.

Maintain focused states of:

Awareness - Understanding - Energy
Confidence (in your model and your ability and in theirs)
Commitment to help them to benefit from each and every communication.

Find the positive intention of every behavior (communication is of course behavior) – look for Desired State/Outcomes

What it is the client wants!

“For every behavior there’s a positive intent.”

Utilize the Well-formed Conditions Model – to assist the client in designing a model of how the client can progress towards what they want.

*Make it positive (what they want not what they don't want)
*Something they CAN DO (within their control)
*See-Hear-Feel what they want (vision of success)
*Good for them and those they care about (ecological)
*Testable - Measurable - So they will know when they get and can CELEBRATE!!!

Begin to develop their awareness of patterns or habits – What thinking-feeling-doing-eValuating that they are (or may have been) doing and the impact or influence it has had upon them and their system-function. +/- - Encourage them to focus more on the postive

“Sit & Be” with the client – Watch-Listen-Learn from them – and they will know that you are engaged on their behalf – that you are invested in fine tuning with them – how they respond-react, behave and relate to self and other.

Offer them feedback as to how they can shift or adapt their state – strategies – skills – sequence – system – so that they can function much better – Improve their way of thinking-feeling-doing - being and dealing with issues and events, experiences, etc. more powerfully in their lives.

The goal becomes for you to assist them in learning about how they are running their brain, helping them to identify the very elements of how it is they are creating and generating their own experience and to...

Design and deliver interventions based on the information you acquire, the client’s Desired State Outcomes and their most productive Resources – Promoting positive changes tailored to “their way” of being and doing.

Just remember, what conversations we have with clients may very well change the communications and how they are responded to. Choose wisely.

Your Body Talks More Than You Think!™ - How Much Do you hear or really listen to "your Body Talk"?!?!

2010-09-11T15:40:00.000-04:00

Orignial Post to FB: You are convinced when you are congruent! You own the skill and can do with it, as you will. Integration is more powerful than knowledge.

This is my continued response to the above.

The body is part of this convincing and the congruence isn't it?!

Somatic responding. Soma-Semantic responding.

One step further - Psycho - Physio - Semantic Responding and Reacting
(more automatic).

How often have you seen an otherwise seemingly congruent person with lack of physiologic awareness or responding... what is going on or the impact on their body. How do you (or could/can you) respond psychoneurophysiologically?

This is what I refer to as the "Complete Package" of responding. Now we are not leaving out the "Unconscious" responding here are we?!

We also communicate "outside conscious awareness". This does not mean it is not important or impactful - what we are not attending to. It does mean that we can choose or choose not to attend to more information that is going on and begin to pay attention for opportunities to influence and appreciate the messages we are sending and receiving. And we can communicate about that information - bioinfo - just as well can't we?!

What are you showing others about you when you respond (verbally AND non-verbally, consciously and "other-than-consciously) and are you being deliberate, intentional, relaxed and congruent in how you do message your meanings? Think about it.

The Complete Package of information includes what you are doing in and with your body and much more.

Pay Attention to the Non-Verbals! :>) They are a part of the "output" we are "giving off" when we do make contact and communicate with all of you. :)

Soma-Semantic - psychophysiosemantic communications.

This is routine for human beings - it is not unusual at all is it?

Because it is felt in the body – it is happening in the brain and it is directable – controllable – influence-able – by the mind!

Learn more about this - ask Elvis - or come to a training - TranceMastery or ChangeMastery. You will learn why we work with your Rhythm, Breathing, Body Talk, Physiological Responding and much more to assist you in becoming much more CONGRUENT in how you conduct yourself, how you communicate and relate not only to others but to YOU!

The Common Sense Approach.

Brain Talk AND Body Talk - NLP, Hypnosis and Neurocise

2010-09-11T15:24:00.000-04:00

My belief is that we are always shifting and transitioning from one state to the next and that we can choose or select with a little attention and intention which states and related strategies we will come from. State control and NLP skills of anchoring and state accessing allow us to do this at will.

You:

* Access the state - See-Hear-Feel it - Get into it
* Amplify the state - Make it stronger, make it feel more intense
* Associate fully into it - Act as if it is happening - going on - Right Now...
* Anchor it (make a physical gesture - thumbs up/clenched fist/etc., say yes or name the state - like "Power" or "Focus", and/or visualize a symbol to represent it).
* Apply it to a specific situation or setting

Then once you have the anchor you can fire it off whenever and wherever you wish to have that response.

What are you doing today to get your Neurocise?!?! To expand your mind and train your brain?!

Whether we know it or not - or are aware of it - we are all NeuroArchitects... in the practice of "Neuroarchtectonics" each day of our lives.

We are making impressions in our brains and those with whom we make contact. :) We now believe (and some say "know") that our brain is always growing, expanding its connections and abilities through intensifying density of neuropathways changing the very "structure' (and thus dynamics) of who we are "mindfirst" (psychoneurophysiologically). Crazy cool stuff. ;>) Right?

How do you do it? Brain Talk and Body Talk! That's right. How we do make contact and communicate with our "brains" through our minds and bodies with more proficience. What we "say and do and view" should reflect the very structures we wish to generate in the mind-brain-body and in our behavior.

IMO, that's why you see in NLP reference and technics of "chaining and stacking and looping" - sequencing, firing, anchoring, overlapping, "synapting". :>) Think about it! Your unconscious (what is mostly responsible for brain growth - "to this point" - because with NLP, Hypnosis and Neurocise we can become more of a participant and get involved in evolving brains) is definitely close enough to hear what you say and see what you see and really feel what you sense. :) Hmmm - Ahhhh - Ohhhh YEAH

Some say that the 10,000 hour rule is a standard for becoming proficient in an area of expertise. Invest this amount of energy and effort and practice, study. I know for a fact from personal experience that it is a reasonable assumption and operating presupposition for me. Over the last 20 ...years I have invested over 10,000 hours in perfecting my craft.

It is quite clear that We need to learn to evolve and condition Our minds and brains and bodies for success and to continuosly become more accomplished at what we do. I have created models and a system just for that. It is called Neurocise(tm). Using NLP, Hypnosis, General Semantics, Identity-Engineering(tm) and Design Solution Modeling - we can model and entrain our brains and bodies to respond beyond our limits. Practice not only makes permanent - it allows us to perfect our expertise and technics.

Once again, the decision as to the depth and breadth of expertise is up to the person to make. I am not saying it takes "20 years" or 10,000 hours to get "great results". As a matter of fact, we can do that without even knowing how and why what we did worked so well. A common statement from beginners working with powerful change and transformation technologies upon seeing massive shifts and change with those with whom they work.

While I have totally "given myself to" NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), I have also immersed and absorbed myself DAILY in General Semantics, Ericksonian Hypnosis and Brief Psychotherapy, Brief Strategic Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy and the development of my models - NeuroTechnics(tm) and Neurocise(tm) and iVIBES Modeling - leading to the generation of Identity Evolution(tm) and Identity-Spinning(tm).

What is your passion - your area of interest and expertise? Are you investing in your personal and professional application and evolution with it? Do it... it is well-worth it today. Get your neurocise now...

Then again, my wife made it simple to understand when she said, "I am - it's me and my God, my family and my man." I kinda like that - except for the sequence/order sometimes. ;>)

The Power of Association (and Dissociation) in "High" Performance

2010-09-09T09:43:00.066-04:00

Here I am responding regarding "association and way of being in the world" and "going meta", NowKnowing for Optimum Performance.

Association
==========
Of course we wish to associate more fully to 'own' and experience and enrich depth and breadth of knowledge and understanding as well as 'getting the feel' of whatever 'construct' (strategy, formula, etc.) we are coming from or learning to enhance the experience we get from whatever situation, event or relationship we are involved with/in. Wow, what a mouthful!

Use your Associative Powers of Mind and Body to enhance experience! Oh Yes!

How would we ever get anything done, motivate, check ecology, or make decisions unless we exercised our associative (and dissociative) powers and abilities?

Association (as an essential modeling process) is one of if not 'the' key element to learning, memory, communication and high performance. That’s one view to take.

The work I am doing incorporates what I refer to as the "DN-A™ Method" (Design Neuro-Associations™), 'Neuro-Associative Inquiry™, NAI, and ‘associative processing/conditioning' (Neurocise™) where one of the primary processes is…

Knowing and Owning – – the very states, strategies and skills along with the “Sequence of Success and “what it takes to get what you want” or to make it happen.

Stepping Into... ASSOCIATING "fully and completely"...

NowKnowing - Come from Your BOSS, your “Best Operating States, Strategies and skills” more fully present, alert, alive, aware, awake. On FIRE... much more intentional, more prepared to practice what you know and put it into action.

With this type of state and associative abilities, one of the goals/outcomes is to encourage a more intense sensory acuity, somatic awareness and calibration and awareness of psycho-logics and psychophysiologics – what is going on in mind and in body even as we speak. Or, especially as we speak.

Alfred Korzybski’s – "Fundaments” to Growth.

Read on…

Neurocise™, Positive VIBES and MindFirst™ Conditioning
=============================================

Now, there are multiple skills, steps and stages to the "process" of transformation on the road to learning and performance improvement of which "association"/associated experience number. In fact, association is a major component skill of my Performance Human-Engineering™ and Neurocise™ models.

Here we are making the intentional effort to have the person absorb and immerse themselves into the experience with the required "positive VIBES"…

+Identity-Role in Mind along with their…
+Values/Vision of Success and their…
+Intentions/Implications supported by positive…
+Beliefs/BIAS leading to empowering…
+Emotion/Energy/Expectation resulting in great…
+States/Strategies and Skills to make what you want happen…

'MindFirst'. Preparing Positive iVIBES through "PRE-EMPTIVE PRAXIS" – practice to preempt success, high performance, competence and mastery.

Competence and consciousness (including Unconscious Competence as threads throughout the work) extending through "STRETCHes" where the person actually constructs and creates (human-engineers) the scenarios and/or experiences required to succeed and goes and does it (Outputs desired behavior/performance) to get the learnings and feedback “into their way of being”, adding and editing, updating or upgrading their performance/experience along the way.

That’s right – actually do it and it make it an "even better" true skill.

The ideas and principles here are that, when we practice and actually “go and do” the performance, once we truly acquire the experience, we will come from an even more precise and intentional state with a much more eco-logical, balanced and aligned result and reach a more optimum level of performance, Desired State. Some refer to it as "the Flow or Zone."

Don’t forget… we take seriously making it a wonderfully “playful” experience.

First "Get FIRED UP" – Focused, Intentional, Resourceful, Energized, Deliberate – Uptime/Present – which describes a way of being in the world that is exceedingly empowering, driving, attractive and beneficial to set the stage for higher performance and living life more 'full out'. Right Now!

Know what I mean?!

Identification - A few words to the "wise".
===========
I have studied “Identification” from general semantics, NLP/DHE™, and hypnosis orientations. Regarding the ultimate 'being' state – in pursuing (and/or attempting to attain) I'd say it is important to remain cognizant of the concept of Non-Identity... not meant to lead one to think that there’s some-such "ideal state" they should be coming from or experiencing or aspiring to... apt to lead to over-identifying/over-identification.

In fact, are we not somewhat sure, that our state is always "in flux", changing and evolving, sometimes very elusively with no "ideal" or absolutivity to it. No form is ever the same from one experience to the next. How can it be? Fluidity and Fluxion are continuously and consistently in play. That’s right, that’s what we will call it...

Meta-Position - Going Up Inside
===============================
Going Meta, stepping UP (your performance) – is a choice, not the only choice, but one of many options along the path, to unfolding success.

I am pretty confident that we are all aware that the use of Meta-Position (saying-doing-viewing with connection, emotion and sentience) does not mean that we are not able to sense-perceive (VAKOG – through 5 senses and possibly with "extra-sensory perception") and respond and transfer that information to self proficiently.

It does mean that from a meta-position you know you have the skill of self-re-flexion where you can "take a look at and reflect upon" your situation, conditions and yourself or your performance. A meta-skill that would, in my opinion, likely be included in the 'ultimate being' state if there is such a thing – in the pursuit of "WISDOM" and Intention and "Ultimate Performance". What matters about "meta" to me is it allows us to "FOCUS/FORM/FUNCTION". Could we do without it? Not likely. We know that is not being suggested here... doing without that is. More on this later.

Of course, once we are "up there", we may very well wish to help people to dis-identify and 'dissociate' (if need be) from non-productive habitual patterns or processes/etc. (that may have been in play operating “outside conscious awareness"), integrate input and +feedback (feeding forward), bringing you into nowknowing, 'back' from the “land of Abstraction” and entrancement with invaluable information so that you get a real feel for and be more present to experience Desired State for true Optimum Performance...

Ultimately perform at your very best.

I don't think I've ever meta human "being" not doing and "being" the best they could as but one aspect of human experience and performance. :) Won't you agree!?!

Do a little "Neurocise" to train your brain for optimum performance.

Positive Hallucinations help us "outside conscious awareness" and inside

2010-09-07T10:21:00.001-04:00

Positive Hallucination is a very powerful tool that many of us use without really being aware of it. What about Auditory Hallucination when you either hear yourself or someone else saying to you some encouraging words - like you are such a great learner or you are very good at listening or you are so kind and gentle and loving... :)

What about Visual Hallucination - when you see yourself succeeding so nicely at something in the near future or when you visualize a satisfying presentation for a wonderfully enthused audience or sales situation - so you get to experience and get FIRED UP for the event or experience and feel right at home already having benefited from giving the presentation... so well.

You can use these as posthypnotic cues as well to activate your best resources and to actuate your best results... can't you?!

Negative Hallucination is also helpful when we can not perceive certain or specific stimuli in the environment around us. Instead we just diminish it - decrease or do away with it or reduce our perception of the visual or auditory or sensation/feeling...

Haven't you done that? Like when you've hit your foot or arm on something and realized after a few moments you didn't even feel it. You actually "ignore it". Or when someone said a word or something that was less than positive and you didn't hear a word they said even though they were talking right to you... Tuned them out, didn't you.

Or you didn't even notice another person at a party who might have really bugged you in the past. Nope, not anymore.

Negative hallucination is a foundational skill in controlling pain and decreasing anxiety or stress. Amazing isn't it the power of mind and body.

Give into the URGE! Preparing for Recording!

2010-09-07T10:19:00.005-04:00

How do you prepare yourself for recording? What do you do to give into the urge? Have you a strategy or set of strategies that propel you - that beckon you to step through that threshold and begin to unleash your genius?

What is it that cues you to get in there and let it loose?

For me it is having prepared and relaxed, protected my genius by insulating a bit my time and my energy. Once I have the material inmind along with the brief but thorough outline I am ready to add to the next layer... the attitude.

Set Ups are important. How I set up the session and the state and attitude I bring will predominate the outcome in many ways. Once within the session, I love the challenge of continuing the fire and the energy level being consistent with the pace and the rhythm of the piece I am recording. To me this is the elegance that we must master... knowing when to do what when and with how much attitude and fun. I always have the big enough Why as I am "On FIRE" for helping and sharing.

And it never fails me as the "what else" always comes to mind thanks to my friend Richard. Sometimes the "what else" wants to dominate so I ask it to play along well with the others. It does! :>)

Enjoy yourself - have fun laying down the tracks and sharing it with the world. Why not? We all have gifts to share and help others in the process with our true talents.

Honest Unconscious Action! Get On Fire and Go For It!

2010-09-07T10:18:00.002-04:00

When you get an impetus to do a specific activity/action and you don’t what did you do to not do?

You likely said no, or focused on something else that was more prominent in your awareness.

So – use this and make what you know is important and needs to get done PROMINENT – so that IT IS what you focus on and SAY YES to doing and do it. Swiftly proceed to action, and get it DONE!

What are the things you already do this with? Those behaviors that you don’t even have to think about, you just do. You have automized these behaviors, haven’t you?

This is a strategy of sorts. The way you sort for these activities is refined and it works and it's probably just “outside conscious awareness” (unconscious). You have already made a way of actuating and then activating – a way of reminding yourself and doing the behavior literally without thinking. You’ve likely got an anchor and then a response already set up to link and launch. That’s what I call it.

You link to the idea or the VISION of it and you have already made a PROVISION for that behavior. You have a structured response preset – patterned and YOU GO FOR IT --> DO IT.

There must be other behaviors and actions, activities that you desire or require to get done, even today, especially today. Isn't there?! You can use this very understanding, a real skill you already possess, to program your desired responses, to condition yourself and them in the same way so that they kick in when you need them to to get done what you must do TODAY. That's right!

Just identify the behavior, make it look and sound and feel like those you do automatically. Actually code it in the same terms and conditions. Put it in these very same “terms” and conditions in your mind so that you do it with ease and expedience. Why? Because you can.

It is simple if you don’t make it hard. That’s how you did the others anyway isn’t it. You just did them with no real challenge. Somehow with your ability, conscious and/or unconscious, you simply, easily, and without much of a challenge or even really having to think about it you just did it. Give it a whirl, spin up that determination and get on fire for it. Let your unconscious be the guide and Go For It! Have some fun and enjoy the ride to success today.

“On FIRE” – Focused – Intentional – Resolved – Energized

2010-09-07T10:17:00.002-04:00

Get into a Great State (FIRE is a Mega-State – 4 together) - Can be whatever states you choose to combine.

Access-->Associate-->Amplify-->Anchor-->Apply

Once you have started the momentum – keep it going and move with it – direct it... AIM THE STATES at the behavior you want to get done. FIRE THEM OFF and GO TO IT AND DO IT!

It is that simple. Clarity and Focus. Keep It Simple Spiral!

After it is set just read the do cues, those signs that are about what is important to you now... and how you can do what it takes to make them a reality.

Manifest in your life – TODAY!

The reverse works as well for you - Identify states involved in a not-so-good Mega-State - take out one or two - the driving states - those most significant or important - pivotal - where you get the most leverage and release/remove them from the "Mix". 4. Or just collapse them all once you have determined what the value was.

Replace with + State(s) meeting the +Intent of each. Place these into the Mix of States - creating a Great Mega-State... Know what I mean?!!!

Mind-Bending Experience - Unfolding Our Many Selves

2010-09-07T10:16:00.002-04:00

Ramblings of “Higher Selves”

In NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) we know and use Perceptual Positions (many of you are well aware of) to add a dynamic that allows accessing of resources and states (processes and "talents" we possess and or can own - one of which is our ability to associate/dissociate) – Meta-Patterns and such (including thinking-preferences/meta-programs, etc.).

The model I work with along with perceptual positions is about “nowknowing” you do have these abilities (hypnotic in nature), you can and do reflect on your own mind and behavior (internal and external) and how you think and feel and say and do and view especially related to “self”... self-relations.

Obvious and elusive at times.

Appreciation of Self-Reflexion (mind bending - folding), engaging states, utilizing various perspectives (Perceptual Positions) allows a viewing (and an access) of a different kind of mindset and multiple elements of excellence coming together as high level skills - One of which we refer to as “the self” (that's right "Self as a Skill") – who we are (our very identities) and who we are becoming. Then the actions we take within these ultimate moves that we make are more intentional and have much more predictable results (to varying degrees). Aren’t they?!

My personal take is that we are consistently revealing “higher self” (how you are evolving - synergistically and synectively) with each move we make in how we do think and feel and say and do and view. The impact of these actions influence each and every day - the “emerging self” that comes about - the we "unfold". Know what I mean?!

Integrate – Validate – Verify – Unfold it!

This by the way is one of my takes on the premises of “Spiral Theory” – http://www.spiral-theory.com/.

Thanks for reading and enjoy your day! Just something to think about...

Design Solution Processing™ - You Decide and You Design

2010-09-07T10:15:00.003-04:00

How do you "decide and design" how You Respond and React?!?

I use the term Design Solution Processing™ to describe some of what I do in coaching and therapy, consulting, training, etc. One reason is that the word “processing” is a bit more descriptive of the action involved in the "Dynamic" modeling of processes where we rely upon the power of our "Mind Dynamics" to produce results and not necessarily what we have already "programmed" in as a response or upon “programming” potential responses.

By activating and dynamically using and directing these “processes” (abilities) in vivo we actively seek to generate new mixes, blends of solutions (combinations) and not so much “programmed” (or habitual) responses. More like when you create a solution or design an excellence or expertise vs. store it, pre-package it or "program" it. So, I would refer to this as "processing" with a client. Simply put – Designing Solutions.

I look at it this way, as "systems" we need updating and upgrading regularly. Sometimes in the moment or "on the fly", we must re-spond or we may end up relying on a “re-action” that may or may not fit who we are or “fix” the situation we may find ourselves in. To do so, I have found from experience that we are better served when we do have a model to assist in fashioning or shaping our responses more proactively, productively and pre-actively.

What worked before, may or may not work for us now or then. What you or I design right now may be much more "like you" or me, aligned and balanced with our more "current" values, identity, beliefs, expectations, etc. So, sometimes in using a “programming” focus/metaphor it seems to distract from the fact that we are living systems, evolving with our abilities to respond, now, in the moment, however we “decide and design” while we make use of "practice or rehearsal" and our imagine-abilities.

What meaning do you assign to the words programming or processing? Of course, both can refer to a set or ordered set of responses, solutions, actions, etc. (A plan or schedule to be done or performed, etc.).

The push I'm speaking of here is towards using a system with "designing solutions" at its heart. Your designs, more free of reliance on "programs" and more relying on your ability to process on the fly and “mix or blend” states, strategies and skills with even more mastery and elegance.

The goals: To increase awareness and presence, to advance understanding of the opportunities to "design" solutions with the mental dynamics we have at our disposal and to create the kind of responses in life that will help us to succeed in any situation or experience.

What I am referring to primarily is operating within a dynamic, multi-dimensional, active, and interactive model or system, wherein we do have more control, more choice and the very powers to operate and respond with creativity, excellence and expertise, intentionally, instantaneously and simultaneously.

The Focus: On your ability to create, to design and DO “whatever it takes” (within means) to live with more excellence, passion, presence, and power and to be more organized, balanced and aligned realizing that we truly have the abilities to "process" whatever comes our way with confidence and competence.

What futures can we create with even more a sense of freedom to use any and all of your abilities however you can and wish. vs. following some set "plan or schedule, coordinated set of activities"? (once again not that doing that is not-so-good... :>).

One Belief: If we teach people how "they can run their own brain more dynamically" and use their mind-dynamics more positively, productively, power-fully and pre-actively, they may not need to rely on previous programming so much.

More later...

Article: Dealing with "Resistance" - Is there such a "thing"?

2010-09-07T10:14:00.002-04:00

In hypnosis we can deal with "resistance" in many ways - as we can do as well in conversations...

One of the easiest ways to do so is to "ignore it" - but - that doesn't always work does it.

Another obvious way - Confront it - yet - that may not be suitable to the client at hand.

What are some other ways? Think about it.

Here are a few suggestions:
=================

1 - Always educate the client about myths and misunderstandings of hypnosis - let them know they are the one doing the trance and that they therefore are in control of their responses.

2 - It is always good to help the client know what hypnotic talents and gifts(abilities) they do have by exercising them in trance with them. That way they may be more empowered and confident in their ability.

3 - Accept the resistance - so called - and use it - Utilize whatever they provide you - validate it - normalize it - and then use the response in your work with them.

4 - Utilize more permissive and indirect technic with them - indirect suggestions, metaphor, questions, are good in working with resistance.

5 - Prescribe the resistance - validate or acknowledge it - and expect them to respond in opposite ways - Don't think of blue.

6 - Dual induction - my favorite - provides a wonderful opportunity to work with resistance - not
able to track both sides of the trance at once. Confusion

And - IMO - it is beneficial to acknowledge and identify the value of the resistance - - inquire as to the value and utilize it.

These are just a few ways to "use the resistance" - there are many more. Confusion - Disorientation - Overwhelming - Reframing - Encouraging.

How do you deal with resistance in your work with clients?

Another and sometimes more powerful and helpful method in working with "resistance"is questioning to reveal value and intention of the behavior/response. In trance you do a little reviewing to bring whatever is blocking the person into conscious awareness and identify what the reasons or causes or value of the resistance (fear/doubt/concerns/previous not-so-god experience, etc.). Usually we find that there's value - once identified and "read" and then "released" the person proceeds to benefit and enjoy trance. We often realize that the resistance may be serving as a defense, a way to not feel or to not feel bad. Makes sense doesn't it.

We all Human-Engineer - Let's Begin to Clarify that - Article

2010-09-07T10:07:00.001-04:00

We are “Human-Engineers”, are we not?! Here’s where we may need to begin to clarify…
We are always forming a mental-emotional-physical-etc. response or reaction to what we perceive - thus my use of the term 'human-engineering' - constructing thinking-feeling-evaluating-etc. on the fly all the time.

We human-engineer our responses as we go (live/experience/do life). That may include things we have seemingly done before (thoughts, feelings, evaluations, meanings, values we have assigned, identifications, etc.) - good or bad.

We must embrace that we are the creators and the engineers of these things - our "realities" our 'maps'. That we are mapmakers and evaluators, true meaning assigners.

That's not too simple is it?

We use words to describe what we create. Words like 'beliefs', 'confidence' (a likely good or + mix of ingredients) - these are 'emerging' (emergent properties - Korzybski) all the time.

Do we pay attention?

I'm just sayin' - Holographics and Holonomics - Unconscious Abilities & Your Sphere of InFluence

2010-09-07T09:55:00.000-04:00

You have the deep ability to holographically and holonomically represent, access (utilize all your conscious and more importantly unconscious tools) resources within you... and those that you can imagine are also within you, are they not. ;>)

Whatever you can DESIGN (that you have designed in mind) you can put to work for you. Because you already do – you can IMAGINE where you have previously stored and can access information – such as representations, reference experiences, memories, learnings, communications, perceptions, etc.

You have a complete set and repertoire of tools and technics, training and trance at your beckon call. Whatever you have learned throughout your entire life is encoded and can be reached, engage and ACTIVATE with ease (and that also means you can decode as well, don't you).

Step inside your sphere of INFLUENCE (you already possess) and understand that ALL you can imagine and do are DEEPLY connected to you as the resources, processes, the moves you can make (and do unconsciously primarily) are at your disposal.

"How well are you unconsciously connected to your resources?"

You can USE slides, portals, filters, panels, grids, ranges/continuums, dropdowns/pull downs, bands, screens, presets and more. For instance – Once you OPEN UP the mind zone internally and enter into "that other world", you (now BEGIN to) bring to life the space to design within and TO COME FROM or to streamline your access to your resources. In fact, you can do this holographically right now around you as you do PROJECT it on the outside in your environment don't you?!

All you need to do is to REALEYES it - Step inside the sphere of influence (you possess now). Come from it. BUILD upon the many learnings and experiences, the very associations, links (the dynamic relations) all of which can emerge to BENEFIT you in an instant in any situation.

Call upon these at will. Just open up your mind (to operate more productively) in this way. With a little "PRACTICE" you can prepare yourself (with ease and elegance), a sense of confidence you can PREDICT your reality... Can you not... live your DREAMS!

DHE™ Generativity In Mind and Life - Written version of audio recorded previously

2010-09-07T09:53:00.002-04:00

DHE™ Generativity

What is DHE™ about for you?

Being generative and extending yourself and your environments creating the type of environments you want to live in and come from (internally and externally) and influence self and others with/for more positivity... at all times... including myself... even now.

I took my first DHE™ course in 1994, over 16 years ago now. Since-then I have been deeply and highly impacted in how I think and how I perceive and view life and the experience of "what is going on" inside and around me in all directions.

I take the stance that we can and do (or choose not to) "direct" what states, strategies, and skills we use or apply in each and every situation and to address specific issues we encounter with our most valued and effective resources. That is not a new concept. Yet, what is somewhat unique is to do so with more intention and presence, with more strategy and skill for more pleasure and fulfillment in mind/as the outcome.

The models I have created and now teach others, Identity-Engineering™, Psygienics™ and Neurocise™ lead in the same direction – giving you more direction and more clarity, more charge to take advantage of your resources and opportunities to use what you know to develop more mastery and to do/execute for more productive, pleasure full, persuasive, profitable (etc.) results and experience.

One of my major beliefs is that you can (and already do) 'engineer' who you are and who you become. Another is that we can have "mental hygiene" (Psygiene) when and where and how much we want it. Another is "we can do so with and by exercising our powers of "mind-brain-body" synergistically, healthily and preemptively... "Preemptive Praxis"... practicing what you can"mindfirst".

It comes down to "living and doing" with more elegance and ease. Doesn't it?!

'Conditioning' of sorts, much akin to how we do so in athletics... but for the mind-brain primarily (not to exclude the body of which the brain belongs of course - you can't, can you.).

All this said, we can and do come from more empowering and exciting and highly proficient mindsets/states and observe and direct what elements we utilize (put into play) in how we operate... thus the iVIBES™ Modeling.

Not as static levels... but dynamic, where we start with Identity, determine what and how we eValuate and assign meaning/value and choose what we Value, become more Intentional in our plans/actions and sequencing, have positive Beliefs that support not hinder us and develop a positive Expectancy and Emotional response that puts us into empowering and enjoyable, productive States from which to use our Best Operating States, Strategies and Skills to their fullest.

A mouthful for some, a tidbit for others. These "elements of excellence" (some refer to as levels – really 'processes') come together to form a mix or interrelated System that allows us to "function". Change one and the others may shift dynamically and dramatically as a result.

How to be more purposeful and more proficient at what we do in mind... to me that is what NLP has lead me to and DHE™ added to the space from which to design "Human" - engineer.

Language, Structure, more importantly -- "Structuring our reality, responses, reactions, etc." (Dynamically), is... well... done... or not. It doesn't have to be taxing but more pleasure-able and a whole lot more fun. Isn't it?!

I say "Keep It Simple Spiral" -- it is all spin.

One Spire at a Time we can and do Change Minds.

We are all spinning realities each and every moment. Aren't we?

It's like anything else; a little practice goes a long way.

Having a system to do things more systematically is not only helpful it is imperative if you are going to get what you want time in and time out... of your mind.

Oh well, I guess I have ranted long enough on the power and benefits of NLP and DHE™ for me. How about you?

As a friend of mine once said...

Take Air

I suggest "more often than not".

Stress-Less with +Psychoneurophysiologics as Art & Science of Peak Performance

2010-09-07T09:46:00.005-04:00

What happens when you need more power and more range to deal with problems or issues or challenging situations?

Technics to "Explore when You're Exposed" to Stressful Conditions:

=========================================================

Relax - Clear Your Mind - Think of nothing - Control Your Breathing - Read heartbeat - Decrease respiratory rate - Slow heart rate

Extend breaths (6-8 per minute or so - what feels comfortable at first).

Power Breathing - In for the count of 4 - hold for 4 counts - out for count of 4.

Count = about 1 second.

Formula to control mind and body to excel and go beyond limits.

Once again, "limits" are not to be perceived as a bad thing. They can be viewed as "markers and meters" helping us to know how and when we can begin to "raise limits" (of tolerance, ability, etc.) to create conditions leading to increased control of our psychoneurophysiologics (mind-brain-body response-reactions). :>)

If "repetition is the mother of skill" then the father is practice.

By practice and preparation we can expect - with enough repetitions - the response-reactions to go more "automatic". This answers the question many have raised to me - "How do I get this to be more automatic?"

You can read your heart rate just by stilling the body, quieting the mind, focusing on HR or lying down on chest and you will feel the beat off the surface on which you are lying.

Establish a baseline (using "somatics") from which to work and to perform with more inspiration.

How inSpired do you need to be to get the performance that leads to achieving what you want?

InSpiration - to breate into - as from "breathing".

Create an InSpirometer to gauge your breath rate.

Notice and read it to adapt and adjust it.

If you aren't breathing well - let's just say...

Take Air! Often is a good strategy. :>)

Practice to increase your Range and Power of breathing and of controlling your mind-body-behavioral responses. Train in the very technics that allow you to respond with more precision and more endurance - increase your tolerance - so that you will be able to cope and respond powerfully and positively and be in control in the most challenging of situations.

By doing so with more intentionality in response to stress or pressure - your very efforts will provide you data (information) - OUTPUT - that MAKES REAL your abilities to handle or to excel in situations that you used to view or perceive as beyond your "limits". Leverage stressful situations to learn more about how you can do more with your resources, states, strategies and skills under pressure.

Doing more with impact and personal power leads to the extension of your limits and abilities.

Just makes sense. Doesn't it?!

"If you know how a problem works you also know how to defuse it." Use your strengths and the weaknesses as pivot points to intervene and remodel, redirect towards solutions.

Take yourself beyond your boundaries, past the edge of what you thought possible - expand, stretch - extend your tolerance - Raise your thresholds.

This works for Pleasure too. Does it not?!

Read - Interpret - React with speed and intensity! Use your Awareness and Focus --> Be ready --> Be Prepared --> Be Decisive

Know and Use Proven Technics of Self Mastery...

You have practiced and "owned".

Evolve your abilities with the many opportunities you have each and every day to raise your limits and go beyond the previously known to know more...

Design Solution Coaching - Intro

2010-09-07T09:44:00.002-04:00

DESIGN SOLUTION COACHING™

Click to read how Elvis created DSC - http://www.execulearn.com/images/DesignSolutionCoachingIntro.pdf

The Design Solution Coaching™, DSC, is an optimal alternative to traditional coaching models. Simply put, Design Solution Coaching™ focuses on designing and developing solutions (outcomes) to personal and interpersonal issues and present state conditions towards assisting you in creating and generating desired state conditions and outcomes for your future. DSC holds as a basic premise that people have within them a wealth of resources and the abilities to address and solve life's issues and problems and attain or achieve the lifestyle and work life they desire. That people are performance human-engineers by heart and possess creative capacities to design what they want into their life, work, relationships, etc.

The DSC model presupposes that complex issues or present state conditions do not always require complex solutions. The client and coach work together to co-create solutions which lead to more productive and enhancing habits, patterns and results. The DSC coach builds on the client's existing strengths, system and model and is purposefully more active and involved in helping the client design/model and implement solutions. The DSC coach’s goal is to assist you in designing specific action plans and steps to help obtain your goals and achieve the success you deserve.

Design Solution Coaching™ is effective in helping clients to identify clearly their Vision of Success, Desired State and what they can do to achieve it, the Sequence of Success or plan of action. People who are motivated to Take Action and make the necessary changes in patterns of thinking, emoting and behaving have found it not only a very helpful but excellent model for achieving their wants and needs, desires and dreams on a daily basis.

The Design Solution Coaching™ model is a totally non-critical approach towards helping clients design solutions to the Issues and Present State Conditions in their life ensuring that each client is afforded deep respect for their many strengths and desires. The main purpose is to assist the client in identifying what it is that they really do want and designing solutions that will help them make it happen!

Design Solution Coaching™

Model for Personal and Professional Transformation

DSC provides a process of transformation that takes into account major factors of transformation such as motivation (whether a person ‘wants’ to transform/believes they can change or evolve). It helps people answer the question as to “how they can change” and update how they think-feel-evaluate and behave.

DSC helps people to make decisions about what is valuable and important to them, about how they will go about manifesting those values and outcomes and what the advantages and disadvantages of achieving certain goals. DSC helps people to move from in-decision to decision, from hesitation and procrastination to certainty and action.

DSC focuses on helping people change “MindFirst”, to create a model of what it is they desire – desired state – and a sequence of how to go about getting it to happen, what states, strategies, skills and resources will be helpful to bring it to reality.

DSC focuses on what Outcomes are desired and how to Achieve Outcomes/Success

Hold the client’s Model InMind!

2010-09-07T09:42:00.003-04:00

Be the First to Hold Your Client’s InMind!

When you are working with your clients, customers, etc. it is imperative that you “hold” their model InMind. How do you do that?

You have awareness of a structure, a mental construct, that they have designed “inside”, whether it be intentional or not, conscious or un-conscious (for them). By eliciting with questions and noticing with high level observations skills and sensory acuity you gather detailed information that is invaluable in working with clients.

The customer has a representation, a vision, driven by Values, Intentions, Beliefs, Emotions, States, VIBES.

What is the VIBE that drives the customer’s model?(at this time, in this situation, etc.)

What is it about the customer’s model that you need to know to provide them the best and most excellent and pertinent, detailed and distinctive service, sales and assistance possible?

With this in-formation (structure of your customer’s excellence) you can do business with the customer that adds value to their business plan, to their ventures and therefore keeps them coming back for more interaction, to do business and work with you.

MindFirst™ & iVIBES™ Modeling teaches you how to get into your customer’s head and heart and elicit the vital information that you require to meet your customer's expectations and needs and to exceed what they have thought possible from a TRUE sales or service professional LIKE YOU!

With this human excellence and achievement technology and the MindFirst™ trainings, you will “model” your customer and “customize to your customer” and truly "hold in mind" what it is they desire and require to succeed while you do business with and for them.

That is what real business to business is about is it not?!

Multi-Dimensional Mind - Perceptual Positioning

2010-09-07T09:40:00.000-04:00

3rd Position and Modeling

I'd like to add that the "onlooker/observer" position - 3rd - IMO is one that we very much need to explore and expand upon.

We can use this position for more skill-mastery-excellence. If we approach it with this in mind we will begin to use more of our potential abilities to access specific states, awarenesses, more conscious direction of mind with more intentional and 'designed' types of response/reactions/behaviors/etc.

I like to train people in becoming not only 'neutral' in the 3rd position but better decision makers, better evaluators, better 'human-engineers' noticing what the thinking-feeling-evaluating-acting/re-acting/etc. is that we are doing "internally" (primarily) and how that effects/affects our behaviors.

Then, of course we can go on to what is referred to the 4th position of sorts - 'system'/'we'/'top of mind' (I refer to it as) - where we are able to take a grander view of the observer/onlooker in action and how the relationship between 3rd position and 1st position can become very powerful as a neuro-linguistic and neuro-semantic feedback loop.

The onlooker/observer messages and communications can become very informative/intelligent/intuitive/insightful and help us to interpret information, human-engineer responses on the fly. Working synectically the 1st - 3rd & 4th positions provide a 'systematic' opportunity to synergize our 'minds' (mind 1 - mind 2 - mind 3...) which lead to the unfolding our many selves (self 1 – self 2 – self 3…).

Different processes unfold at the different levels as each position seems to reveal abilities that naturally are performed in response to the other so to speak. Good working assumption from what I have found and experienced.

Multi-Dimensional M1ND as I refer to it (not just because of the perceptual positions).

Thanks for reading and have a wonderfully refreshing day.

Money and Manifesting with Your Money Mind

2010-09-07T09:39:00.000-04:00

One of the things that I have done with NLP material is to 'actionize' it.

Put an action to each of the features so that it benefits my life daily in some form or fashion. That is a common goal for me.

What one thing can I do today that will make this a reality, manifest? To make use of what I have learned and put it into action.

Do that and keep doing each day in the areas of interest and desire and I guarantee you will make headway and progress to that which you aspire.

Consistent action towards realizing your goals and dreams.

Do this with complete and convincing faith and belief... with the mindset towards what you want and away from what you don't.

I like to add that I dis-claim what I don't want just for good measure.

The power of NO & Yes at work and play.

Regarding finances, just today I called an insurance broker to find out if another insurance company would be a better provider to me and at a cheaper price. I found out that I could save monthly $350. I'll call the other agent tomorrow and do the same for health insurance. How about you?

Financial outcomes are available… for the taking – of action now.

We just have to ask and act and have the spirit of Inquiry and InSpiration work for our best interests.

If I had not acted and asked I may have gone on paying this amount indefinitely.

Think about it.

Is there an area of your life you are wasting money and/or precious resources that you could stop doing that today? And start using them for your betterment. I have found several that I have recently overlooked. And, with a simple tweak in that strategy, now more opportunities which used to be invisible are now in sight. Make it visible. ;)

I like to Remind myself to Remember that saving money is making money too.

And Not spending is as well.

Paying yourself FIRST before you pay anyone else makes a difference too. I kind of like that concept. You? :>)

Put to use your valuable and most cherished resources in optimal ways. It is a worthy goal and a welcomed pursuit. Isn't it!

Identity-Role™ Modeling and iVIBES™

2010-09-07T09:37:00.002-04:00

Have you been reading about my iVIBES stuff?

Use the iVIBES™ model (and its elements) to form a structured response/state and give that to self while with other and you will +VIBE them. Give them "Good VIBES!" Make sense?

Here are a few basic Questions (many more) on Your Quest to Good VIBES!

Ask them of yourself:

=============================================

+What do you Value? enVision

+What do you Intend (to do to get what you want)? Plan of Action

+What must you Believe to Go For It? Beliefing

+What do You Expect as to Effect (result)? Positive Expectations

+What State does to put you in (motivate)? Great State

With these "Elements of Excellence" You create the 'inner environ' (containing the +VIBES) that will impact environment around you. From this +VIBE and space you will 'per-suade'/in-fluence and/or otherwise 'sway' or communicate, commune and conjoin with them.

"Take the time to think it through before you do" making sure that what you give to self and other is eco-logical and well-formed for both you and those you care about.

Well-formed:

===========

What you want

Within YOUR control

Able to See-Hear-Feel it (sensory-rich Vision of Success)

Measurable/testable (so you know when got it)

Good for you and others involved - eco-logical

For example, what +VIBE do I want to give my son when I go and get him and take him to the YMCA this afternoon on "DADDY DAY/DATE"?

I step into my "daddy Identity-role" (already well-known:) – Elvis Jr. 8.

I have a Vision of us swimming under the waterfall, sliding down the waterslide, valuing each other's company and reactions, Intending to have as much fun as we can in 2 hours, Believing that 'this is the best time yet' at the "YMCA", I want to tell you 'bout the YYYYMCA" :), Experiencing the sun/cool breeze (just arriving)/relaxing water, emotionally being excited/refreshed, feeling like "life is good as daddy", sensing my son’s reactions and responses, even the subtle ones, of how wonderful it is to just be around my child.

Hmmm. Catch my VIBES?

C'mon now. You are a reader aren't you?

Read your own VIBE and others and spiral onto even more VIBES of pleasure and attraction... Good VIBES – mindfirst. Go First! MindFirst! That's what I say. Nah, that's too easy.

Go Up… Inside!

2009-06-24T08:51:00.004-04:00

For More Resource States, Strategies & Skills

Sometimes it’s important to… GO Inside & UP… to a higher level in your mind to identify what it is that you really do want and require to succeed!

In order to truly “Come from the Heart” with more positive & empowering resources, states, strategies & skills, we need to take time for ourselves to “go inside” & determine what we really do value or desire, want and dream of. And then again sometimes it benefits us to be even more aware of what we’re getting that we don’t want or what we’re not getting that we do want.

Go First, MindFirst! Go Up… Inside and put yourself into a resourceful state of mind and emotion. Maybe even get into the Peace of Mind state, hopeful, excited, cooperative, so that you are more able to be positive… intentionally focused on the positive & be clear about your wants & needs, desires and dreams.

Get yourself into a Resourceful Emotional State & look through the MindSet of Success and Solution Frame of mind. Act “As If “ you are going to get what you want to happen. Identify your most productive & powerful beliefs, emotions & behaviors & then take action towards what it is that you really do want! “Say & Do & View” in your most productive fashion & mode of thinking-feeling-doing only in ways that support you.

When it comes to "relationships" (romantic or otherwise) it is highly important to communicate and make contact in ways that help you to get what you want (being able to be clear and concise) and then you will be able to access more productive solutions towards co-creating reality with your mate (business partner or customer for that matter) utilizing what we call the “Both/AND” frame of mind where both you and those you care about “get what you want”.

Go In - Get Inside It & Get Into It - Move Your Self - You can do that!

2009-06-23T21:54:00.025-04:00

Alright- now that we know we can make some meta-moves... let's get to the psyengineering (or my preference HypnoEngineering).

What about linking to and launching our system enabling us to access and elicit and use and apply the skills that we have to come from the inside out with power, grace and elegance and make masterful moves and shifts to intentionally direct the very trance-formational processes that make the difference in who we are and how we live and love, relate and perform?

What are they - for you- for me? Likely very similar indeed. Phenomena that we come to honestly - through knowledge and experience. Really it is up to our abilities - more likely dependent upon what we know and do with what we know and how we put together the "mix" or blend and parlay that into action. What tools of transformation have you at your disposal? And what moves do you make with them to create and generate the solution we call reality?

Right Now just "go inside" and take the time to open up the zone in mind - take a look around and become familiar with your very own design space inside. Notice what is in play in the inner environment - in mind - what it is that you are experiencing and how you are "thinking-feeling-doing" that.

What's on your mind, your map, your psymap and how do you psyengineer your reality?

Put your "knowledge into Action", apply the skills you possess. Explore the very dynamics at work and play in creating your very own consciousness. Expand and experiment with your repertoire and base of tools - keep learning and utilizing what you know. The direct benefits will serve as a bridge to desired state for you.

Remember and never forget - that there's always more to the story and more to your ability to learn isn't there. All part of the fun.

Exercise your ability to make it an incredibly powerful and pleasurable one.

Get inside it... Make Your Moves...
Come from the inside out with a great state that leads you to live a life positively entranced!

Get into it! YOU CAN DO that won't you?!

Living Mastery with NLP, Hypnosis & NeuroTechnics(tm)

2009-06-20T16:32:00.012-04:00

Living Mastery

IMO ONE of the keys to mastering NLP is to be able to shift perceptual positions fluidly and at will. The Onlooker/Observer position is most useful in developing Self-Awareness, Social Awareness (interpersonal/intrapersonal intelligence) which allows you to get a longer and broader as well as higher look at yourself, what you are thinking, feeling, saying to self inside, how you are evaluating and assigning meaning and communicating to self. In order to raise your PsyQ (mental-emotional-psychological) utilizing and working within/with this position is essential.

Going to a meta-position - one where you are associating to emotion and feel and yet maintain the "back of mind" view - is also a higher level to look or "View" at self and other (internally). Slow down, take a look around, notice how you feel and how you are thinking, take the time to think through what your reactions, actions are or might be. You are functioning at a higher level of mind and can distort time to your favor. Remember you are a modeler. You are the master of your own mind. You can make any mind move you are capable of. You can and will get more capable by practicing intentionally by design. Use your mind - learn how you do the various skills. There are so many at your disposal with NLP & Hypnosis & NeuroTechnics(tm).

You already have a model of mind, you are continuously adding to your map of resources. Keep at it. Be innovative, and open to input. Be committed to mastery, utilizing what you know on a daily basis. Live it. Keep learning & adding distinctions to what you know. Put what you know into action and add that knowledge form what you learn into your foundation of knowledge. There is no one way, no best way. There is your way. How you learn and how you live and do with what you know. Keep learning NLP and hypnosis and related materials. Seek out new sources of information and new instructors and models of excellence. It will come together quite nicely for you as you persist. That is my know.

After a while your abilities at identifying your own patterns and habits, what you are best and need to get better at, will come and then you will gain more mastery, be more intentional in the states, strategies and skills that you do decide to link and launch to and apply in specific situations and contexts - like the use of the perceptual positions. You will then develop more flexibility, more conscious competence and extend your comfort in using these skills and technics - begin to integrate them into a system and a model and get more systematic at how you perform and function.

I will be detailing more on mastery over the coming daze and you can and will put NLP, Hypnosis & NeuroTechnics(tm) to work for you at home, play and work and Do so with more precision and proficiency.

Go First MindFirst!

Good VIBES & Identity-Coaching(tm)

2009-06-20T16:31:00.005-04:00

Identity-Coaching™ for Good VIBES

How you behave or perform is directly impacted by “who you are” in the moment or situation. The identity-role that you play out is influenced by what you value, your intentions and beliefs, expectations and the state you are in when performing and delivering at all times.

Just how conscious are you of these critical elements and components of what makes up what many call our “attitude” or mindset? Think about it.

If you paid more mind to your VIBES - Values-Intentions-Beliefs-Expectations-States - is it possible that you could improve how you perform, how you relate to self and other and make a difference in the quality of your relationships and experiences you have? I say Yes, it is not only possible but probable! Try it.

Notice what you are doing on the inside in mind next time when you face a challenge or difficult situation or you are stepping up to perform. Just become more alert and aware of what values you are assigning at the time and how you can become more intentional with your beliefs and build an even more positive expectancy thereby enhancing your state and peaking your performance. Good VIBES! That is what I/m talking about. Really - it is a part of how you are relating to your self - isn't it.

VIBES Drive Performance!

PS: This doesn't mean you are "dissociated" - hmmm - you're just thinking to your self - perceiving - realizing what is going on. Some focus too much on being "associated" or dissociated. Yes - these are hypnotic phenomena that are valuable but they are not the whole story are they?!

Communicating Who You Are

2009-06-20T16:30:00.019-04:00

Communication comes from who you are and how you relate. That’s right!

What is the identity-role you are coming from and what are you trying to relate to those with whom you are communicating?

What is your outcome? Why are you making contact with this person or group/etc.? Get real specific as to what it is that you want to achieve! Stay focused on that.

If you know who you are and what you want (in rich detail) it will be much clearer to the other person you are making contact with to “get” what you are attempting to communicate and relate. And, you will be more likely to get the response-reaction you desire if you know what it is (VAK/IR/SBMDS/Lang./VIBES/M-P/States/etc.) - the representations and relations you are desirous of eliciting, inSpiring and installing. That’s just too simple.

Well it appears that it is not so simple and it may need to be a bit complex from what the experts say. The more detail and distinctions you do make the more you are likely to get what you want. When you are providing rich detail and can give the other person more information they will more likely than not understand and respond or react to you more positively. I still say "Keep It Simple Spiral" - spin the inFormation with the right attitude, "Go First" in a great state and make contact and communicate.

Think about what you desire and how to get it across. Rehearse or practice (PREEMPTIVE PRAXIS) a few times until you really get what you are saying and can impart it with more skill and precision with intention by Design. After a few runs and real life situations applying what it is you have designed, you are ready to "Go For It!"

See my Podcast RSS feed at ExecuLearn.com (downloads section) where you can find mp3's for practice exercises. Also, become an ExecuLearn Subscriber and access more audios - ExecuLearn.com

Then there’s the next level… tailoring how you communicate to your customer’s “thinking preferences” (Meta-Programs) and preferred sensory channels, and through VIBES that will be pleasurable and attractive for them. For more info about this visit http://www.ivibes.com.

Hmm. Something to think about.

What is your View of You?

2009-06-20T16:30:00.018-04:00

How do you see your Self?

What is your “view of you”? How does how you “see” yourself or how you SEE YOUR SELF impact and influence how you respond or react or perform? The view you take of you has an affect on how you relate even to yourself inside and that then impacts your performance or behavior. Think about it.

What kind of influence do your thoughts, feelings/emotions, evaluations, etc. have upon your “self-image” or “self-concept”? And, how does this self-image affect your performance, the way you function or relate in situations? Could it be that these factors “significantly affect” your performance? Self-image is like self-esteem, meaning that everything filters through it - kind of like you put your “signature” on it?

The point that I’m making is that the “view” or image you have of yourself (who you are - identity and/or how you identify self) is a critical element - filter of your perception and conception - that we need to be aware of and factor into the performance equation more intentionally. How you do “see” yourself is important in regard to how you will act, react or perform. If you don’t see yourself as XYZ (actor/musician, author, great communicator, dedicated husband/parent, etc.) will you be able to do your best or perform comfortably or enjoyably? If it is not in your “sight” convincingly or you can’t envision yourself as XYZ how can you create, modify or adjust, hone that identity-role and how you behave in and through it?

Something else to consider - if we don’t focus on how we see ourselves maybe we can perform more proficiently because we aren’t distracted (giving energy to view) by how we view self and can go onto do more, better in that role/identity. That obviously comes with practice and stepping into and shedding various identities that we own and utilize. Hmm… Think about that.

Could we say that in the beginning stages (of mastering a behavior/skill/performance) one may require more “identification” (positive) of self as XYZ or relate the role/identity and validate that we are this or that so that we can facilitate the performance in that role (becoming convinced and finding evidence that we are XYZ). And as we go along developing skills and abilities and comfort within the role/identity, become more convinced (more “at home” and at ease and elegance) that that is “who we are”, we may see and/or view ourselves less as XYZ and perform more at ease and feel more “natural” in the role. Hmmm… like when someone says “Funny, I don’t see myself as that.” What do you think?

How do you see yourself and what is your view of you and your capabilities? Are you really SEEing You with your fullest potentialities knowing that this is just one way of looking at who you are and that you are much more capable than how you see your self at the present time or point?

Then again, You’re not always what you think you are AND things aren't always as they seem to be. :>) Are they?!

Brain Branding & Identity-Branding(tm)

2009-06-20T16:28:00.004-04:00

Brain Branding!?

At first it might not seem like such a good concept. Huh?

Well - it is exactly what marketers (sales, advertisers, etc.) have in mind for your brain. Believe it.

They'd like to make their brand "stick" and get your brain to think about them when you have a need that they can fulfill.
Dont you agree?

Branding doesn't just occur externally - it is the hope that we will (as customers) internalize the brand - identify with it - make an identification with the brand so strong that when presented with a cue or prompt we immediately think of their product.

You know the drill - it goes kinda like this...
"Coke is... ___ ____ _____." Let your brain fill in the blank.
(the real thing)
"Activon... _____ ________ __ ____ ____."
(apply directly to your head) This one may not be so easy to recognize for those of you who are internatlonal to recognize the Activon one - they are more regional tied to the US)

With neuroscience catching up to speed and being willing to now say what we in NLP and Hypnosis have known for 40 -50 years - we are finally realizing how we make associations and the brain builds networks.
That's right - neuroarchtectonics - fancy word for the brain's activity of building structures - neural networking - as a result of repetitive behavior - includes internal and external or both.

What you see - hear- feel both on the inside and the outside - meaning what you do in response or reaction to the external visual/auditory/kinesthetic (and don't forget olfactory and gustatory of course) - leads to the brain getting it and going to town making the effort to "integrate" the learning and create a structure to re-cognize the value it has assigned (you have some say in this - right?) and benefitting (although it may not be so apparent what the benefit is right away).

What we know now is growing and so is our brain. That's is why I created the model of NEUROCISE(tm) - conditioning the brain to train in certain responses - build those structures - for mastery, excellence, in the various roles in our lives.
This is done in coaching, training, modeling, consulting and even "parenting" (of course i use this with my kids and my wife). Grin

Identity-Branding(tm) - a course on how to communicate and relate in ways that elicit the response-reactions in pre-determined ways - through the iVIBES(tm) Modeling and the use of key NLP technics and patterns we are already doing this. Are we not? You bet.
When you have a deep influence on others we are definitely "brain branding".

Identity-Branding is focusing on "who you are" - "what you stand for" - the values, intentions, benefits and emotional experience you can provide a customer or client - pretty simple. In your messages - marketing, sales, public relations, service, etc. it is imperative that you take the time to "think through" and write them, draw them, develop them with the response-reaction you desire in mind and the action/end result - behavior clearly defined that you want the customers to do - so that business gets better and better and better.
Makes sense... don't it.

Intention-Belief-Expectation - Intention Subconscious?

2009-06-20T09:14:00.009-04:00

Someone on another group asked a question that was confusing at first but led to this response. So here is what I wrote about Intention and how what we "say" does or does not align with what we "Do".

There's more to the Story than Intention you say? - Intention - Belief - Expectation. As a hypnotist I know from experience - you can intend - but if you don't believe and expect - well - let's just say - Knowing and doing are two different things.

But not really - to do you must know. The level of threshold some must reach in believing in what they "know" before doing is critically important. Let's call that "confidence" for now. To me Intention is not as much subconscious as one might think - depending upon what needs or values we are driven towards or talking about - my opinion is that we do choose to intend or what our intentions are.

Values IMO influence & drive intention & intention with belief set expectation. This is what I refer to as the VIBE - Values - Intention - Belief - Expectation. The VIBES (S stands for State) drive Behavior. You may ask "What drives the VIBES?" - Identity - Who you are and this leads to what you "stand for" and eventually to the "story" that you and others tell of you or your business, etc.

Intention is a critical & integral part of these processes which are largely "outside conscious awareness" but not necessarily "subconscious" IMO. It is a part of the loop between Values & Identity & Belief & Expectation. Making decisions is generally a conscious effort on my part most of the time with the aid of the "unconscious" of course. Sometimes in dreams I decide things that I wouldn't have even thought of. That for sure is unconscious at work.

Response-Reaction is an end-result of the cumulative effect of the "Mix" of these elemental processes and other factors or forces (internal or external) that may be influencing us, affecting or "swaying" us. Even at the Soma-Semantic levels of experience. :) We may or may not own the response-ability of what actually happens (or what we experience) as it may have been somewhat "out of our control". For that matter we may not even be aware of some of them. Obviously we don't control all the variables that "come into play" in a situation or event.

Once again - remember - "Saying & Doing" may very well be two different things. But not usually. :0) OK - I've decided - "knowing & doing" don't have to be two different things. We do with what we know and we definitely "own" that. ;)

A little heady response-reaction here that I accept response-ability for.
Let me know if you have a comment or question. Ciao

Psygienically Balanced Desired State Outcomes? WHAT?

2009-06-01T12:05:00.022-04:00

Do your Desired State Outcomes (DSO’s) include "Good Psygiene"? Why whatever do you mean? If you are a bit confused by the term - listen to this "Psygiene - The Power of Psygienics". Or - visit Psygiene.com to read the article!

Have you taken the time to “think through” whether or not each element of your strategy – system – model is Psygienic? Hmmmm?

Determining whether you or what you are thinking-feeling-doing or pursuing is:

Positive & Pleasurable

Fosters positive & pleasurable response-reactions in you
It makes you feel great
It’s fun… because we know that you are in charge of this. Are you not?

Clean, Clear & Concise

Little to know not-so-good by-products – whether that be doubt, fear, hesitation, procrastination or any negative associations or representations linked to it
Your Vision & Sequence of Success & what it takes for you to get what you want is crystal clear in your mind & you have concise plans & specific ideas as to how to go about manifesting what it is that you are seeking or pursuing.

Helpful or hindering to you; Serves & Supports you

You have stepped back & taken a long look to determine if there is any aspect of this DSO that would cause you difficulty or block or bind on your mind-body-behavior, limit or lead to an impasse for you (or others involved) towards taking action to get what you want. If so, you register it, take it into account & update your plan of action accordingly. And, you’ve also figured into the equation whether or not this DSO serves & supports your pursuits in other roles or areas of your life.
Ecological - Good for those you care about and work with & those you love and relate to/have a relationship with
Free of Possible Negative Consequences – You’ve thought through & you’re prepared to address both +/- & (neutral ) ones
How does having this impact or influence other areas of your life or other DSO’s?

Designed with Well-formed Conditions

Productive & Worthwhile performance

Worthy and valuable performance that adds value to you or your life & the life of those with whom you make contact and relate

Designed with +VIBE(S) & powerfully aligned to/with your identity-role for maximum achievement & motivation (who you are now – vs. back when - through an “outdated” identity – or acting as if you are someone you are not) or looking ahead without the required resources or learnings or skills YET! (See the iVIBES(tm) Modeling Map (.pdf) for information on how to create "good VIBES". More info on this coming soon.)

Sequenced out or through & yields a Sequence & Vision of Success that you are inspired & passionate about

Practiced & Prepared – Preemptive Praxis

Attractive & fueled by a powerfully proficient Propulsion System

These are some of the dynamics, variables/elements & factors impacting & affecting our very fabric of reality & life experience intrapersonally & interpersonally. Pay mind to these & you will improve your way of being & achieve more "mindlife balance".

Do you meet or exceed the Law of Threshold?
Are you ready, willing & able to go for it?

Just how passionate are you about it (DSO) & about going & doing to make it (what you want) happen?

Have you met threshold for this choice, meaning, have you reached a choice point & gone beyond, & decided TO ACT NOW?

Have you decided IT IS TIME?

Have you made a commitment to GO FOR IT & DO IT right now?

Are you ready, willing & able to do Whatever It Takes to achieve it (within any reasonable means of course)?

Think about it - because you can...

"Guarantee your own performance" & utilize tried & proven performance improvement processes to "bridge the gap" between here & then now & achieve your dreams!

Take Action NOW!

Preemptive Practice - MindFirst Conditioning

2009-05-31T14:52:00.011-04:00

Do you practice and prepare to be more proficient at what you do? If so - how?

Preemptive Practice (or Praxis) is about taking the time to "think it through before you do". Going inside and designing a strategy for optimum performance. I am not saying that you will always stick to the strategy 100%. This is an opportunity for you to lay down a sequence of success and unfold your Vision of Success "inMind" - so that it is familiar with you - comfortable and then you tweak it by doing "runs" - running through it a few times and "adding and editing" it as required to make improvements. Gets your brain (and body) moving in the "right" direction... moving, directionalizing & momentum.

My opinion is that when people get the "jitters' prior to performing it is likely one of three things most of the time - they are either ill-prepared, they don't practice great State Control or they haven't "well-formed the conditions of their desired state/Outcomes". Preemptive Practice or what i refer to as "MindFirst Conditioning" (and it includes the body and behavior) provides you a way to access your resources and put together the right mix for the situation, issues, challenge, event or activity - ahead of time and come from it when you need to. It is about sequencing your strategies and the various elements of your performance (or relations).

I have created several audios to promote this method - one of which is called the "Desired State Generator". An exercise (hypnotic) that leads you through a process to "performance engineer". DS Generator Exercise (.pdf). And another to get you to take action - Action Generator - well that is a whole other story. :>). I invite you to check the exercises out at my podcast located at - http://execulearn.com/ExecuLearn/ExecuLearn.rss.
