Consciously Model
Were you born with your gestures, mannerisms, tone of voice and behaviors? Not at all. Ever since childhood, you have unconsciously copied the behaviors of the people around you. That's one of the most basic ways we learn -- its called modeling. So... its no accident that the way you speak or react is often similar to your parents or your close friends. Modeling helps us fit in and communicate effectively with those closest to us. What Often Happens is... How does this all work? If you are not an effective communicator, it could be because you (unconsciously) modeled poor speakers and communicators when you were young. If you are a poor decision maker, or feel anxious and lacking in confidence, it could be because you unknowingly adopted these patterns from your family or friends. The Solution is... Its important to realize that modeling is not about just copying other people. Its about modifying and personalizing what you have chosen to model to make it suit your personal style. For example, if a woman modeled the mannerisms of a top male speaker, it might not suit her well. She may have to modify elements of that person's mannerisms to suit her own personality. Model the best patterns, combine and adapt them to make them your own. That is what really effective modeling is all about. The power of effectively modeling proven excellence, is that it can produce exceptional results in a very short time. Adam Khoo became a self-made millionaire by age 26.

You've heard about how a musician loses herself in her music, or how a painter becomes one with his painting. Time stops, and only total focus on the activity remains. This is called *being in the flow,* an experience that is both demanding and rewarding ... and perhaps the most enjoyable and valuable experience you can have. Hungarian-born psychologist Mihalyi Csikszentmihalyi, the father of the flow concept, describes the experience as being completely involved in an activity for its own sake. The ego falls away. Time flies. Every action, movement, and thought follows inevitably from the previous one, like playing jazz. Your whole being is involved, and you're using your skills to the utmost. He determined that flow occurs when we are totally absorbed in some activity that is neither too easy nor too difficult for us. If the activity is too easy, we fall into boredom -- while if it’s too difficult, we become anxious or stressed. But it the activity is just right we find ourselves in the state of flow, just like children at play. How Flow Builds Brainpower The easiest way to understand how flow increases mindpower is this: When you perform a task that is too easy, your mind wanders from your work, and you have low mental focus. When something is overwhelmingly too difficult, on the other hand, anxiety and frustration set in. Neither boredom nor anxiety lead to good mental focus. Most often we move in and out of flow without realizing it. Any stimulating activity that completely fills your conscious attention can put you there. But the minute you feel worry, boredom or insecurity creeping in, you are out of the flow. Here's a reliable step-by-step method of achieving and sustaining a high state of flow in your life: Click here to continue to read.

Thousands of people around the world live in total paralysis. An accident or a catastrophic stroke paralyzed some instantly. Others bear the slow agony of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, commonly known as Lou Gehrig's disease. Famed astrophysicist Stephen Hawking is one of those who suffer from Lou Gehrig's disease. Hawking is among the luckier, as he still controls a few muscles in one finger, and can operate a computer to generate a computer-created "voice." But now a German neuroscientist has found a way to give a "voice" to 11 totally paralyzed people using a device that converts their mental activity directly into computer commands. Dr. Niels Birbaumer of the University of Tübingen created what he calls the Thought Translation Device (TTD.) His TTD device picks up a particular low-frequency brainwave pattern called the slow cortical potential -- which can be produced voluntarily. The device scans the patient's brain waves through electrodes pasted to his or her scalp. The 11 patients can now answer yes-or-no questions, spell out sentences, and even surf the Internet using their thoughts only. Birbaumer was awarded the Leibniz Prize, the German equivalent to the Nobel Prize in medicine, in 1995, after his team taught a group of epileptics how to change feel a seizure coming on, and take mental steps to avoid it. More than half the patients in the study significantly curbed their number of seizures, and some eliminated seizures altogether. Birbaumer believes the future of brain-computer interfaces lies in implanting electrodes directly into the brain. American neuroscientists have experimented with animals to create such direct connections, and researchers at Emory University in Atlanta have even implanted electrodes into the brains of terminally ill patients with modest success. "Humans are enormously adaptable," Birbaumer says, "and even in these extreme states, as long as they can communicate, their quality of life can remain high.
