seven character traits to success

    • You can also do a SWISH PATTERN with fears and frustrations. Do the exercise on the tape. You can also do the slingshot approach-imagine a slingshot

in front of you. Between the two posts is a picture of the present behavior you want to change. Place a small picture of how you want to be in the sling. Then mentally watch this little picture being pulled farther and farther back until the sling is stretched as far as possible. Then let it go. Watch as it explodes right through the old picture in front of you and into your brain.

• 1) Belief system- "Whether you believe you can do something or you believe you can't, you're right."
  • it comes from
  • environment
  • events
  • knowledge
  • past results
  • creating in your mind the experience you desire AS IF it were here giving you results in advance
• 2) Mental Syntax-the way people organize their thoughts. Mental syntax is like a code-ingredients and order
• 3) Physiology-the mind and body are totally linked. The way you use your physiology-the way you breathe and hold your body, your posture, your facial expressions, the nature and quality of your movements-actually determines what state you're in.
• THE STATE YOU'RE IN THEN WILL DETERMINE THE RANGE AND QUALITY OF THE BEHAVIORS YOU'RE ABLE TO PRODUCE

beliefs

• The birth of excellence begins with our awareness that our beliefs are a choice. You can choose beliefs that limit you, or you can choose beliefs that support you. The biggest misconception people often have of belief is that it's a static, intellectual concept, an understanding that's divorced from action and results. Nothing could be further from the truth. Belief is the doorway to excellence precisely because there's nothing

divorced or static about it.

• YOU CAN CHANGE ANYTHING YOU FEEL IN YOUR LIFE BY CHANGING THE WAY YOU REPRESENT IT IN YOUR MIND, AND SUBMODALITIES GIVE YOU TOTAL CONTROL OF HOW YOU REPRESENT ANYTHING! TAKE THAT CONTROL BACK AND MAKE YOUR LIFE A MASTERPIECE!
• Another aspect of learning is chunking. Generally, people can consciously process only five to nine chunks of information at once. People who learn rapidly can

master even the most complex tasks because they chunk information into small steps and then reassemble them into the original whole. If you wanted to spell a word like "Albuquerque," you need to break it down into three smaller chunks like this: Albu/quer/que.
