Scientists are beginning to prove more and more convincingly that thoughts are POWERFUL things.

Goal setting, the "law of attraction" and "positive thinking" all work, regardless of whether you look at them from a metaphysical or a scientific perspective.

Whatever you have been thinking about, picturing in your mind
repeatedly on a daily basis, and putting emotional energy towards is
what you are now experiencing.

Scientists have identified specific parts of the brain, such as the reticular activating system (RAS), which works with the visual parts of our brain to call our conscious attention to those things that have been focused on, and to filter out other things that have not. The RAS is activated by "programming" thoughts, phrases and images into our sub-conscious minds. Our sub conscious mind is the "power center" and THIS is the mechanism that explains why visualization and positive thinking are now being accepted as scientific methods for change.


In the 1970's, the Soviets and East Germans were the first to formally use structured mental rehearsal. At that time, they dominated in several Olympic sports. Today virtually all elite athletes use visualization extensively, as we now know that the brain cannot differentiate between real practice and practice that is vividly imagined.  Look at my blog for more clinical studies on the effectiveness of imagery, relaxation, meditation and the most effective ways to exercise. 

OUR BRAINS ARE LIKE COMPUTERS, WAITING FOR A PROGRAM TO BE INSTALLED.

We are discovering that our brain is cybernetic in nature, which means that it is literally like a computer, waiting for a program to be installed. Here's the kicker - the subconscious is completely neutral and impartial. It will carry out any instructions you give it. Unfortunately, many of us are still running negative programs we picked up from others as children when our non-conscious minds were totally open and impressionable, or which we developed over the years
as a result of repetition of our own negative thinking.

As it turns out, our own thoughts, repeated daily, are one of the
primary ways that our "mental computer" is programmed on a sub-conscious level, which is the level of beliefs, habits and automatic behavior.

CHOOSING TO FOCUS ON NEW POSITIVE THOUGHTS, FEELINGS AND IMAGES WILL LITERALLY CREATE NEW NEURAL PATTERNS IN YOUR BRAIN.

If you are getting more of the same negative results in your life -
such as the same health problems, or the same body fat that continues
to return even after you lose it, then you have probably been
un-consciously running old negative programs and re-enforcing them
with negative thought patterns.

Neuroscientists have discovered that you have the capacity to create
an almost infinite number of new neural connections in your brain when
you run new thought patterns. Old neural pathways are like grooves in
a record, and if you are struggling with your health related behaviors
or behaviors in any other area of your life, you have been playing
these "old records" over and over again. If you were to carve a new
groove into that record, it would never play the same way again. The
old pattern would weaken and the new one would take over. Brand new positive thoughts, feelings and images begin to create new neural
patterns—new grooves.

Psychologists estimate that it takes 21 to 30 days to establish a new pattern in your brain. During this time, the focus of sticking with your practice and repeating your new thought patterns is critical. This isn't always easy. In fact, controlling your thinking and keeping it constructive may be one of the most difficult challenges you have ever faced. This website is designed to coach you through those days, until your own good habits and thoughts take over.

Every one of us has a need of some coaching at one time in our lives or another. With the help of affirmations and releasing of old emotions, you can quite literally re-program your brain. This in turn creates new behaviors, which move you physically toward whatever you have been thinking about and focusing on.
