Tune Your Brain
for More Success

Ever wonder why some people have such extraordinary luck attracting endless opportunities moving them closer to their goals? Actually there is a neuroscience explanation for such unusual luck – this is just their brain following instructions. Here is a birds-eye-view of what is happening in your physical brain.

The Amygdala
Your brain has many different functional parts that play a part in your ability to achieve your goals. Once such is the emotional brain – commonly called the *limbic system* by the scientific community. Your limbic system has a whole lot to do with your ability to achieve (or fail to achieve) the goals you set.

One small part of your limbic system is called the amygdala (ah-mig-da-la). The amygdalas basic job is to assign emotional meaning to what you sense (see, hear, touch, etc).

If it finds something that seems negative, it then functions as a panic button to warn you that (based on your past experience) you may be facing a dangerous situation.

The Reticular Activating System
And along those lines, your amygdala is joined by another even more primitive part of your brain located down in your brainstem – your Reticular Activating System (RAS.)

So what does the RAS do... It actually acts like a primary filter of all of your sensory input. It looks at what is happening to you, and determines what is feels is important enough to send up to your higher brain centers. And interestingly -- since the brain stem is primarily an old portion of the brain that focuses first on your survival –- the RAS gives special importance to anything it feels is negative and could damage your survival.

The RAS could even be said to be something of a negativity magnet that constantly scans for things that could be said to be urgent or threatening –- an important, but not very positive, part of your brain.

The Cumulative Effect
The negative signs your RAS is on the lookout for are often primarily based on your prior experience -- all the way back to childhood. Since the RAS is part of the portion of your brain that is primarily concerned with survival, your RAS looks for anything in the present that could hurt you as you have been hurt in the past.

So if you have an old painful memory related to rejection, the RAS will automatically be on alert for anything that could signal possible rejection – and will send those straight up to your higher brain centers.

Your amygdala, in turn, will automatically attach a sad or painful emotion to any stimulus that reminds you of rejection. This is a powerful effect that keeps you very sensitive to any old negativity in your life.

The Positive Side
So all of this must seem rather negative, but there is a way to get these two components of your brain refocused on what you WANT – rather that constantly thinking only of survival and avoiding past negative experiences. Here is how that works... <<== Click here to continue to read.

Going with
Your Biorhythms

By Julie Rosset, MA, Editor
Comments by Stuart Hameroff MD,

It’s not an accident that the average length of a movie is 90 minutes. If you ask the experts, they'll tell you that many of your body/brain functions are preset to operate in cycles of roughly 90 minutes each. Being sure to go with the flow of these natural biorhythms is more important than you may realize.

Like all other animals, we humans live in a world of day-night cycles. This has its counterpart in our bodies; somewhere in the dawn of time these fundamental rhythms were etched into our brains, so that we would be organized in synchrony with our environment.

How the brain does this is through an elaborate system of signals kicked off by light. Light strikes our eyes, certain nerve cells in our eyes detect the wavelengths of natural light, they signal the brain, and the brain sends messages to virtually every system of the body to rev up or ramp down. This control center coordinates the performance of our bodily systems with each other.

Like the world around us, our biological clocks are set to tick in cycles of approximately 24 hours. We are designed to sleep and wake in cycles of roughly 24 hours -- our basic human “circadian rhythm.”

Study after study has shown we function best both mentally and physically when our internal cycles are in-step with those of the external world. But Dr. Roseanne Armitage, a sleep expert with the University of Michigan, tells us, “the sleep patterns of Americans are increasingly out of phase with the natural rhythm.”

Many of the body's major systems run on totally natural circadian rhythms. Cardiovascular activity has a circadian pattern, as does body temperature, metabolic functions and liver and kidney function.

If you mess up your sleep and wake patterns, your mood suffers, your alertness and concentration weaken, and your memory becomes unreliable. Your performance on important tasks takes a dive, and you may not feel coherent. Your immune system is also compromised, leading to higher likelihood of a cold or flu.
