The Secret and negative thoughts

The Secret is still all around us. Even so I think it is a bit simplistic, the good part is that people become aware that they are in charge of their life.

However, there are some people that take the message of not to think any negative thoughts to serious and even condemn realistic assessments as too negative. Now, I believe that reality is what we make out of it. Each and every one has his or her own interpretation of events. This interpretation ultimately forms their experience and how they experience their life - it creates their "model of the world".

Now there are situations that need to be evaluated. Look at the global recession, for example. I mentioned earlier that there is a need to change the things we are doing. May be more, may be less. Up to you. But I met people who really freak out the moment you mention the word crisis. Like it is the pest or something similar. Like the don't want to touch it at all. It is too negative. If you mention the word, there is the danger that energy is put inside and then it will hit us.

In similar fashion, when we talk to clients about goal setting and budget developments. We set an achievable goal, and don't I dare to say it, there is this voice in the back saying - 'when we put this number on the board, won't we limit us? Shouldn't we avoid mentioning numbers, because they are holding us back? Won't the universe give us more, if we really, really really use outrageously high numbers?' When I say may be we should shoot for the stars to reach the moon - oh no, another limitation!!

I believe, no, I know we create our own reality. What we have inside of us, and how we personally evaluate events will ultimately determine the quality of our life. We can achieve a lot when we learn how to reframe certain events. Negative ones especially. Some people spiral into negative thoughts and are somewhat addicted to it. For them it is good to realise that this strengthens a negative condition in the mind. It is good for them to learn how to manage their thoughts.

But when I am able to manage my thoughts - positive and negative ones - this also means that my quality of my life, to me gets better. This means that I am ready with scenarios and ideas on how to tackle challenges. Not ignoring challenges. Because, isn't ignoring challenges equivalent to running away? Like an ostrich putting his head into the sand, hoping, that he won't be seen?

As mentioned, I like the way of how the secret opened the mind of many. It helped millions of people become aware of their thoughts. But there is more to it, way more. So, let me invite you not to stop at the secret, but move beyond. Use it as a beginning point to design your life. To manage your thoughts. To explore new ways of thinking. Enjoy the fruits of success. But then, start also to manage the stuff that life also throws at you. The challenges. The hard pieces. The limitations. Reframe them. Shed new lights at them. Why are they thrown at you? What is the learning? How can you tackle a similar challenge the next time around. What is the purpose, for you, in experiencing something like this. Just some beginning questions. Something to think about! Or, may be I am just too negative?

The fear in the eyes

Is fear something that is living with us, in every situation?

Let me tell you the story. I am a bit pinked-eye, when it comes to walking around in Sydney. I was in Pitts Street the other day, a normal shopping street with plenty of office buildings.

I had been there a couple of years ago, and remembered some bookshops in the area. I love books and thought, may be I can find some treasures in Australia, that don't exist in Malaysia.

So I asked a woman on the street for direction. She stood aside a postbox, so that was convenient for me.

When I asked her she turned to me, very reluctantly. Fear was in her eyes.

I don't know if Sydney is dangerous and whether or not, there are snatch thieves, robberies or similar. I don't know what kind of impression I gave her - I wasn't dressed shappily or anything.

May be it is the experience that we carry in us - do we all know stories of people being mugged? - may be it is the constant indoctrination from the media that times are changing and robberies are on the rise.

I don't know.

But similar to the loneliness with the IPod or the drunkard in the bus, there are indicators of changes happening in the relations between people.

I left the woman with a very friendly smile, after she gave me the information. May be I made a change inside of her. May be not. But try, you who read it - make a change today. Be friendly to those around you. Together we can change the world, and every individual can start now, to just smile at people again and share a friendly word with them, every now and the.

Facebook,narcism, leadership and the current crisis

Are you on Facebook?

May be spending hours and hours on either designing your website, leaving messages on your friends' site, sending out flowers, fighting battles with werewolves and others?

Or are you the more casual user, checking in every now and then, but otherwise, you are more quiet?

Let's be a bit tongue in cheek, if I may!

A study now links narcissism to Facebook users.

"Researchers at the University of Georgia gave personality questionnaires to nearly 130 Facebook users and analyzed the content of their online profiles. They also had untrained observers look at the profiles and rate how narcissistic, or excessively egotistical, the owners of the profiles were.

The results of the study are detailed in the October issue of the journal Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin.

The researchers found that the number of friends and wall posts (messages left by the owner of the profile or friends) that a person had on their profile correlated with how narcissistic they were. Study leader Laura Buffardi, a Ph.D. student in psychology, said this is similar to how narcissists behave in the real world, forming numerous but shallow relationships with others.

Narcissistic Facebook users were also more likely to have glamorous, self-promoting pictures for their main profile photo, while others tended to use snapshots, the study found. The untrained observers also noted the differences in photos and amount of social interaction."

Isn't it interesting?

Are you now going to change your picture, your approach to Facebook, or do you bask in glory, saying, that this is alright like that?

But don't worry and whatever you do - another study found that narcists tend to become leaders. And this sheds a totally new light on Facebook, right?

May be companies can start sourcing their candidates from Facebook - which would presume, again, that narcissists are able to lead.

Are they? .... I read, somewhere, that they are not. And the lead researcher of the study also states that "it's not surprising that narcissists become leaders. They like power, they are egotistical, and they are usually charming and extraverted. But the problem is, they don't necessarily make better leaders."

Sorry! So may be this is the explanation for the current financial crisis? May be and this is just my piece here, leaders were to narcissistic in reaching short-term gains, to please Wall Street, so that they didn't care less about the reliability of their business model or if the lending structure was sustainable? I am guessing only, and I am not an expert of the financial crisis, just thinking about it :)

But whatever it is - communication is important. And Facebook together with other social websites are changing the ways we communicate.

Scaling change

I love scales and may be the reason for this is my huge background in market research. Scales from 1 to 5, or 1 to 7 always gives you an indication of where someone or something stands.

Imagine, for just a moment, you get back the result of a product test and the satisfaction of the consumer ranges 7 out of 10. Or, in an employee opionion survey, the satisfaction of the executive is 5 out of 10.

This is a clear indication of something amiss. It is not perfect, may be not even close.

Let's say I am coaching a client in his or her preparation for an interview with a candidate. We are working on developing their skills. Or in a more neurological intervention, I am coaching a client to take on a new behaviour.

Sure, sometimes things work out immediately, and the intervention is an immediate success. Sometimes, it takes a staggered approach and more than one intervention.

In between I am asking the client where on a scale his change indicator is. I might ask "on a scale from one to ten, with 10 being the old behavior totally gone and you have now totally changed and assumed the new behaviour, where are you?" While the question looks innocent, there is a lot going on in this question. With a lot of different embedded suggestions - see the underlned words!

Whatever the client gives me, anything below a ten, I would ask "what do you need to do now, in order to reach a ten now!?" Again, see the underlined words with some embedded commands!

What this requires the client to do is to go inside and imagine what they need to do. They give me the answer. Whatever comes out now, I might ask them to just do that. Or imagine doing this. Visualising with all their different representational systems - what do people say to them, what will they hear, what will they see or feel, after they managed to change their behaviour.

Powerful, I tell you!

Now, for you, who is reading this, you can use this as well.

When you are a parent and you want your child to get better grades in school. Ask the child to scale his or her current results, and then ask, what he or she would need to do to get a higher grade?

Or, if you are a business developer and the client is not yet convinced that your product or service is the best - ask the question.

Or you are suppose to present something - where on the scale are you? And then ask yourself, what you need to do to reach the famous 10!

Or, you are an employer, a lover, a company advertising, a politicean who hasn't managed to convinced the masses of his or her message ... please fill in the blanks!

Ha! Let me play a bit, can I?

What do you need to know (may be from us?) that we in Asia Mind Dynamics are the company you need to work with to succeed? Or to know that we help you create the experience in our NLP trainings that you want to join us now!

Isn't this wonderful All these questions?

NLP used during the Beijing Olympics

It is now official - the British team that competed in the Beijing Olympics used ..... Neuro Linguistics Programming. And it is part of the success recipe - they achieved the best performance in 100 years, underlined with 19 Gold metals.

Apparently, and according to the article, the usage of NLP is common in the US and the Russian teams since ages, and Michael Phelps is probably another example.
If people can visualise winning and what it is like to hear the crowd as they cross the winning line and what it feels like to win, it becomes a reality to them and their mind shifts their perception of what is possible and enhances their performance.

Sonia Saxton says that "In the last few years NLP techniques have been top of the list and now coaches are a lot more experienced in athletes helping themselves mentally. Understanding the psychology plays a bigger role because that is what achieves the results."

During preparation for Beijing, triple gold medal winning cyclist Chris Hoy has said: "Visualisation is a very important part. It's good to go through every little detail of the race in your mind beforehand.

“Then when it comes to race day, you are prepared and you know what to expect. A major part of it is having self-belief."

Sonia Saxton adds: "When Roger Bannister ran the first four-minute mile, he didn't think it was possible until he imagined doing it. He saw it in his mind and imagined he had already done it, heard his feet hitting the ground, and felt physically what it was like to have achieved his dream. He overcame the belief that it wasn't possible."

Malaysia Team - please contact me and I would be so incredibly happy to assist the nation to achieve their goals.

What do you do when .... Questions that make you think!

A couple of questions that might haunt you or anyone else in your surrounding, every now and then. Some of these might be personal, some might relate to your professional field. Think about them, and may be share your responses, if you wish.

- How do you cope when you know you have to do something, but then, somehow, nothing moves you to action?

- What do you do when you have a deadline to meet in the next 1 hour, but suddenly, a colleague bursts in your office asking for help?

- How do you feel when you say "no" to someone or something that is important to others, but actually not to you?

- How do you usually upgrade your skills?

- If you could change one thing in your life, right now, what would that be? (powerful question, think about it!!)

- What is your goal for the next 5 months?

- How many tasks do you handle per day?

- Do you still remember whom you met yesterday morning?

- What was the best thing that happened to you today?

- Whom will you satisfy tomorrow?

- When was the last time, you really relaxed, not doing anything, and felt really good about it?

- How do you feel when you meet new people?

- How would you cope with addiction?

- How do you feel when you are disappointed by someone and what do you usually do about it?

Interesting questions?

Gaining confidence through singing - the new portable Karaoke machine

May be the new invention or innovation from Japan assists us in gaining more confidence? Ask yourself - how many of us like to sing in public, in front of an audience? Or even on the street?

I believe most of us feel horified just thinking about this. Itis bad enough to speak and present, isn't it? Now singing on the street?

Well, we might soon see people running around with portable Karaoke sets.

"A Japanese toy maker will soon sell a portable, personal karaoke machine so you can belt out your favorite tunes anywhere, and without having to wait for the microphone."

The machine weighs less than a pound and is a 7 cm cube.

This will surely help with confidence - to the horror of those exposed to it.

Now, you can imagine 100s of younsters roaming the streets or malls in Kuala Lumpur, all singing their own Karaoke song!

However, as a secondary benefit - they all develop mental strategies for confidence. Because ultimately, it takes some stomach to sing. I rather sing in the car or under the shower. Preferably alone, otherwise, my son tells me to shut up!!
