 SELF-MOTIVATION SCIENCE NEWS!
Last month we talked about one of the 9 SCIENCE FOR SUCCESS TECHNIQUES: #4 “ INNERSTATES!”
If you have read each of our previous seven newsletters, you now know the absolute scientific proof and background on why these INNERSTATES will work to bring you transcendent levels of achievement and success. But you must follow through on your commitment to repeat them and to enhance them. If you stop too soon, the permanent synaptic neuron connections and neurode patterns will not be formed in sufficient numbers to change your behavior and performance.

Enhance Your INNERSTATES
This month we want to take this Technique even further. Expand your understanding. Expand your Innerstate goals and areas of achievement. The new synaptic connections that you are making by practicing your Innerstates WILL lead you to reaching ALL of your goals. However, there are several things that you can do, all with a scientific basis, that will expand and quicken your achievement, expand and quicken your success and expand and quicken your levels of self-motivation.
Previously, we indicated that science research tells us that we ‘learn’ new things by repetition, association, AND by making our learning experience very emotional. What is the science behind this and what can we do then to enhance it?

Your Brain Grows in the Dark!
If we learn new things, physiologically, new web-like, neuron, dendrite spine protuberances grow and form synaptic connections with other neurons and form neurode patterns (groups of inter-related memory neurons). The more often we fire these neuron patterns (think, or better yet, talk about that thought or thing), the easier it is and the more often that thought is reproduced in our brain/mind. Also, the more that thought, goal or idea crosses through our neuron patterns, the more interconnections or cross-connections are created. If we have a multitude of cross-connections and interconnections, it then becomes much easier and much more likely that we will trigger or fire the neurodes related to our goal-thoughts. We will concentrate or focus on our goal(s) much more easily. (The more you fire a set of neurons, the lower the firing threshold becomes for that set and the more easily it fires.) Therefore, the more you repeat your Innerstates, the more your brain will create the highways for success. Also, more importantly, once these connections are made, if you continue a maintenance level, the connections will be PERMANENT. You will be able to call on them all day, every day, until you reach your goals for achievement. This will occur automatically. In fact, you won’t be able to stop it. Success is on the way!  

Emotion Lotion!
We mentioned that we learn by repetition and association. The third factor--AND THE MOST IMPORTANT-- is that we learn best when the thing learned is very emotional to us or we are in a very emotional state when we learn it. Physiologically, if we are creating new synaptic connections by repetition and/or association AND it is a very EMOTIONAL experience, many more connections will be made; and those connections will be much stronger and longer lasting. It is not totally understood yet, but the basic science research belief is that when we are in an emotional state (most emotions, except anger and strong fear), more neurotransmitters are released by the controls in the amygdala portion of the brain. These neurotransmitters, in turn, cause more proteins to form in the dendrites of the neurons, which act like a fertilizer for and cause more dendrite spine protuberences to grow and make connections. This is clearly evidenced by recalling a very emotional memory, such as when you heard of JFK’s death or 9-11-01. Those memories are and stay very clear, vivid and sharp, even after decades of time.

BOTTOM LINE:
Your goals need to have very strong emotional meaning for you. You need to be in an emotional state when you do your “Innerstates.” One way to accomplish this is to say your Innerstates OUT LOUD. Something about hearing (and seeing yourself in a mirror) your own voice say the words creates an adrenalin release (neurotransmitters). Also, you can spend time before you do your Innerstates visualizing your achievements and dreams. What will it exactly be like when you win? This triggers very strong positive emotions (see this month’s book reviews). And the stronger your emotions are when you do your Innerstates, the more likely you will create many more and much stronger (permanent) brain neurodes that will take you to you goals and transcendent success. And please note, that this works even when you are not consciously thinking about your goals. If your RAS (Reticular Activating System) has been sufficiently stimulated to put your goals onto your RAS “Important List” (see May and June Newsletters), then anytime your nonconscious neurons see or hear anything related to your goals and how to achieve them, a message will instantly go up to your conscious level and you will “think” of it, and act on it!  It's Automatic! This works with your Innerstates (Science for Success Technique # 4) AND it works for all of the little things you do each day. One great example of just a little something you can do from now on that will have a PERMANENT SCIENTIFIC POSITIVE effect on you:
Resolve from this moment forward--anytime, anywhere, when someone asks you how you are doing; your answer will always be “Fantastic!” or “Terrific!” or “Fabulous!”. . .EVEN WHEN YOU FEEL LIKE CRAP. LIE! You know why? You sure should by now if you’ve been reading this newsletter. If you say this to yourself every day for three to four weeks, your brain neurodes and new synaptic connections will turn it into the truth. There is no way around it. You WILL BE fantastic! Permanently!
Next month we will take a specific look at some of the most recent research findings in this area and start to explain at least one more of the 9 Science for Success Techniques. Sign up now. Join us at the September Seminar. It’s GUARANTEED! You will be years ahead of your competition.

JULY BOOK REVIEWS
Each month we will review a few of the books and/or research articles and studies that we have read. All of these books will have been published in just the last few years, since about 95% of what science now knows about the brain has been discovered in just the last 4-5 years! We will rate these books on a scale of 0-10 with ten meaning DONT MISS IT! and 0 meaning DONT TOUCH IT! All opinions will relate only to the book's quality and functionality as it relates to the FOCUS and MISSION STATEMENT of Science for Success Seminars(see our website)

1. A CELEBRATION OF NEURONS. Dr. Robert Sylwester. It is no mistake that we have included this book for review this month. It is a MUST READ! It is a wonderful scientific collection of the proof that our Science for Success Technique # 4 “Innerstates!” works. Dr. Sylwester explains the biological evolution of neuron connections and memory formation, and the chemical coding of molecules called neurotransmitters. Especially important and explained well are the neurotransmitters called peptides that modulate our motivation levels. He further discusses the formation of the nonconscious process that brings us answers up to the conscious level which continues to go on WITHOUT DIRECT ORDER from the conscious, to give credence to our theory that your Innerstates can create PERMANENT self-motivating, goal-achieving neurodes. The book's language is not so deep and complex as to turn-off the layperson reader either! I made it through the book without a headache! YOU MUST READ THIS BOOK! RATING 10.0

 

 2. CREATING MIND. Dr John Dowling If this is your first month with us, this book is not yet for you. But if you have read all of our newsletters, (back issues are available on our website) then I think it’s time to tackle this book. The reading is complex and sometimes hard to wade through, but it is worth the trip. If nothing else, this book has the best explanations and pictures of the structure of neurons and synapses. (Chapter 2) The section on “The Maturing Brain” is exciting and great news for all of us! For certain regions of the brain, especially ones concerned with higher neural processing, substantial neuronal modification and synaptic plasticity CAN CONTINUE throughout life. Substantial remodeling of the brain circuitry, through the Science for Success Techniques, can occur for a lifetime! Book also has very good sections on emotions and learning as well as the scientific evidence that the nonconscious brain cannot distinguish real from imagined (A very good thing! See past Newsletters.) If we increase our understanding of brain mechanisms, it will have an enormous impact on how humans conduct their lives! RATING: 9.0
3. HIDDEN POWER OF YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS MIND. James VanFleet. This is another in a long line of books that look so good from the title on the cover; but when you enter and read, they fall very short of your expectations. We of course emphasize the scientific aspects of permanent self-motivation and the power of the nonconscious brain. This book unfortunately does not go there. There are however, in its pages some very good exercises and techniques to help you on your journey to transcendent success. But you will need to look elsewhere for the scientific explanation of why and how they work. For example, there are good discussions to improve your nonconscious memory; to understand that will-power is NOT the key to success-imagination is; and a 6 step program to help you become successful and a winner. But the ‘why’ is missing. RATING: 6.0
4. THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO MENTAL TOUGHNESS. Daniel Teitelbaum. THIS BOOK IS ONE OF MY TOP TEN! Even though this book was written by a non-scientist, all of his information is based on scientific findings and are explained using scientific research findings and belief. The book is filled with technique after technique that is explained extremely well and therefor makes real sense and is easy to apply to our goals of permanent self-motivation. I especially like (borrow and practice) the authors techniques on visualization and how to trigger the emotions necessary to reach your goals. We have applied this in our Science for Success Technique # 5, “Trigger a Thunderstorm!”, which you will learn much more about in a future Newsletter. RATING: 8.5
