Do find it tough to cancel an old habit? Are you one of those folks who can say the words and automatically change your behaviors? Wait - can you decide to go on a diet and instantly start eating less and see a weight loss in the first week?

Not me.

Speed reading is an acquired habit too. It requires small changes from how you have been reading since 3rd grade, and these modifications require an effort (act), of will. All mastery requires effort - there is no other way.

Any change of habitual behavior requires a change in your thinking and beliefs.

Remember - these core beliefs have been reinforced daily since age 10.

Would you expect change to be 1-2-3?

Three Requirements For Change

First, your volition - (choice, will), requires a mental-effort in order to create a new

habit. A choice is also necessary to extinguish an old, harmful habit.

Second, effort is a derivative of Motivation. If we do not have powerful reasons

and purposes to change - we do not.

Alcoholics and addicts try to quit an average of twenty-times in their lifetime. They attend group-seminars like Alcoholics Anonymous, regularly visit health therapists, and are often monitored by social workers. Still, only 5-15% succeed permanently.

Motivation is being moved to action to change. A goal requires a drive, incentive,

influence and persuasion - not just words. Addiction is a craving, an obsession and

compulsion to continue the habit that satisfies, yet destroys life.

Third, to change requires a new assumption (belief), that your actions (behaviors), will result in success. No beliefs, no changes.

In the face of a habit we feel hopeless and helpless and do not believe based on personal experience, that change is possible. Until we modify our core belief that

we are not helpless, that we can improve - we will continue to fall off the wagon.

We change only if our reasons seem drastically advantageous and necessary. That is why just wanting to change always fails. Find the positive reasons to create a new habit.

Speed Reading

You can list 99 reasons why snailing is lousy. You can write another list of benefits,

from gaining the competitive-edge and getting into your career fast-track, to promotions and more money.

First and foremost you must overcome a lack of hope, and a feeling of helplessness. You must have a goal - a burning desire to learn speed reading - not just a simple want to look smart in front of your peers.

Second, to master speed reading, read-and-remember three books, articles and reports in the time others can hardly finish one, you must practice 15 minutes

daily using a pacer, and use your peripheral reading strategies for 21 days.

The secret for overcoming any habit is repetition in the new strategy. No repetition,

no success because you are creating a new long-term memory.

Humans Are a Bit Deranged

Buddha believed and taught that all of us on the planet earth are collectively

and individually - kind of crazy - A bit Deranged! He said we do not notice it because it is a way of life and common to our species.

Freud agreed with Buddha, and called it the Universal Neurosis in Man.

The result of our natural state is to be stressed-out, close to panic, anxious and

frustrated on a daily basis - at home and in our workplace. We call it chronic-stress.

It causes your heartbeat to race, you breathing to be shallow, and your immune system to weaken, leading to heart disease, cancer and stroke. Yes, really, and

it is directed by the stress hormones - cortisol, and adrenaline (epinephrine).

The Solution

Meditation for 30 minutes daily, releases mental and physical stress. We will leave

the specifics of meditating for later. Chanting and deep breathing reduces, and even eliminates chronic stress. The goal is to lower your stress hormones level.

Relaxation permits you to reach your subconscious with a request to create a new

habit. Speed reading is predominantly a right-brain skill of pattern-recognition,

spatial skills, and intuition. New habits require a combination of both left-and-right

hemispheres interaction.

The key to eliminating the stress hormones is by calming your mind and body by shifting control from your Sympathetic Nervous System (fight-or-flight), to your Parasympathic Nervous System - deep relaxation.

You move from Adrenaline to Acetylcholine neurotransmitters, from chronic stress to peace of mind, and self-control through deep relaxation.

Here is what happens when you use self-help (meditation); you influence how you

interpret what-you think, what happens to you, and the emotional meaning you give to specific events and the actions of other people.

You have self-control to stop blowing-up at your significant-other, kids, and business associates. You exercise self-control in traffic and in dealing with sales-clerks. You take control of how you react to your environment, as it affects your behaviors and feelings.

Your frustration level becomes manageable, and you become logical and reasonable.

Another thing - your health improves, and you make better decisions.

Endwords

Here is a hint - your mental visualizations - the mental-movies you play as a continuous Loop, governs your thinking and behaviors. Decisions are always emotional, monitored by your thinking. If you scare yourself with negative thoughts

of failure, rejection and anger, you guarantee your defeat.

Change to positive mental-imagery, and your feelings follow your mental-movies, strengthening your ability to succeed. Remember the last time you had a fight with a

business associate or your significant-other?

It does not end after you walk away, you keep replaying the quarrelsome scene endlessly, and hours later you are still angry and not thinking clearly. A loop is the repetition of the experience with its sounds, color and feelings. Each time you pay attention to it - you become stressed-out once again.

You have self-talk, sub-vox, and think of what you should have said and done to win the battle.

Remember - when you are emotional - male or female, adult or youngster - you are not thinking with reason and logic. You say and do things that accelerate the dispute, not act as a calming influence.

Your authentic, genuine and real self wants to reject chronic stress, but your ego loves a good fight. Choose who is the boss-of-you.

See Ya,

Got Distractions?

Got Distractions?

Speed Read

Have you heard enough conversations and media interviews of Henny-Penny,

the sky is falling? Yes, we live and work in the Knowledge Economy, and that

is not going to change. Say right-on, to get your Prefrontal Cortex triggered.

Sure, we suffer from Information Overload, and multi-tasking, and that will continue, so please exclude me from your need to share the information the world

is ending. If you wish to survive to see 2010, avoid the doomsayers, and become

a personal stressbuster.

How? It is neuroscience, and you can implement it within 10 minutes, and see positive results in two minutes thereafter. Had a better offer today?

1. Wandering Minds

In college where students have young, active brains, neuroscience research reports mind-wandering 33% of the workday. The University of North Caroline, Greensboro tested 124 undergrads by checking their attention and concentration eight (8) times daily during the experiment.

The students used PDAs to report back to Dr. Michael Kane, and responded to multiple-choice questions. The students admitted to being distracted and inattentive, with a wandering mind, one-third of the school day. They could not concentrate well a third of their work day.

He concluded: improving Working-Memory-Capacity (WMC) enlarged focus,

attention and concentration. How do you do that? We call it the Peg-And-Link

system. Learn more later.

This research in attention has been repeated from 2007-2008 by other researchers

with the same significant results of distracted, wandering mind, one-third of the day.

1. Distractions And Interruptions at The Workplace

You have heard the expression, Information Overload thrown about. Would you believe Knowledge Economy workers are interrupted and distracted from their

work every three (3) minutes? Fact: we get stopped from what we are concentrating on an average of 9 times per hour.

Was it always thus? Today we have emails, instant messaging, telephone calls, and people entering your space with earth shattering information. Wait – they have justed viewed a dog or cat picture on their computer they must share with you.

The gist: it requires up to ten uninterrupted minutes for the mind of a Homo sapiens to get into the zone (flow) for productive work. After the interruption

and distraction, it takes up to 12 minutes to refocus on productive work.

We call it Regression in reading. Losing your place of concentration, and finding

your way back is a major cause of snailing information instead of speed reading.

Real statistics: the average U.S. executive Regresses up to 8 times per page read, and learns to hate linear information processing. The same occurs reading an article on the computer. So what?

Distractions and interruptions produce a permanent loss of attention and

concentration, and a reducing of procedural and long term memory. It dumbs you

down – permanently. Research indicates a reduction in IQ of up to 10%.

Google: New York Times on distractions in the workplace.

Is there a solution?

Using your cursor as a Pacer to underline the sentences you read will improve your focus and comprehension. Your reading speed will increase up to three times your snailing rate because of using your cursor as a pointer (Pacer).  Learn more later.

3. Social Distractions

The best research on disruptions in the workplace is by Dr. Tim Welsh, University of Calgary, Canada. They dedicate a department called Kinesiology – the science

of human body movements – to the affects of socialization on productivity.

If you can see a fellow Knowledge Economy peer, you are already infected. We have hardwired in our three pound coconut and central nervous system, a form of Monkey See, Monkey Think. It is called Mirror Neurons.

With the best of intentions, if you can see in your field of vision, an associate doing

a task different than your own, you automatically slow down to watch.

Our Mirror Neurons create mental imagery and become emotionally involved with

the physical activities of your co-worker. We imagine ourselves performing the same action.

Google: Seeing vs Believing, December, 2007, Journal of Human Movement Science.

Just seeing him/her performing interferes with your own activities. You lose your train of thought, slow down, and are no longer in your flow and zone of creativity.

Is there a solution?

It is called isolation, but that produces a loss of socialization. There is another answer that increases your productivity and learning. It requires earplugs.

If you use simple spongy earplugs when you are being productive, creative,

and want to increase your brainpower, you will improve up to 25%.

Does this apply only in Canada?

If you want an improvement in productivity and stress reduction, remove

involuntary modeling (copying) of the behavior of co-workers. It also improves

your speed of completion and accuracy.

Endwords

Why should you care? Henny-Penny, the sky is not falling, but to protect your

success in the workplace, and snag the next promotion, improve your skills and

productivity. Work in isolation if at all possible, and wear earplugs.

You will be unique and overcome all future competition.

Would you be more competitive by reading and remembering three-times as much

as your competitors? Would it help to double your long-term memory?

Now ask us how.

Nature Worshiper Files Civil Rights Suit After Tangle With Tree Trimmers
George H. Russell is not just an advocate for trees; they are part of his religion, according to a federal complaint he filed in Houston. Russell was arrested after interfering with tree trimmers' work following Hurricane Ike in 2008. Russell filed a civil rights suit saying that he is the founder of the Universal Ethician Church, which considers forest conservation to be a religious issue, and ...
