Your brain holds the keys to unlocking a better you...

Hey Tristan,  Are you keeping up with the latest science about change? [Click here if you’d like to be kept in the loop.](  Having coached and helped people for decades, there’s one aspect of human behaviour that has a profound impact on every facet of our lives which is often overlooked…  The role of our expectations in creating the reality we experience.  What we believe about ourselves, about others and the world dramatically impacts the results we create.  In fact, more and more research shows the beliefs you hold affect everything from your health to your wellbeing to how much money you will make.  Whether you are looking to lose weight, make more money, change your career or achieve some goal you think is impossible, each one of us has a ceiling above which we’ll struggle to cross (without a belief change).  Yet a simple change in beliefs can have a dramatic impact.  Consider this study from Harvard University.  Researchers wanted to know if the expectations people hold could impact their health. So they did what researchers do…  ...they ran an experiment.  They recruited a group of hotel cleaners to find out. The cleaners, who didn’t exhibit any great signs of being fit, described their work as intense and understandably tiring.  Yet when the researcher explained to them that the amount of energy exerted by hoovering, changing beds and moving furniture over a week was more than the requirement for good health, the new expectation had a surprising and consequential effect…  “One month later, the researchers found that the cleaners’ fitness had noticeably improved, with significant changes in their weight and blood pressure.”  As author and award winning science writer David Robson put it:  “Quite amazingly, the shift in their beliefs about their bodies, and their new expectations of work, had brought about real physiological benefits - without any change in lifestyle.”  Increasing the science literature is discovering that our expectations (aka beliefs) are literally filtering what we will perceive and achieve.  Our brains, Tristan, are prediction machines that finely control what we see and do. And all of this happens largely outside our awareness!  So what are your beliefs preventing you from seeing? And how are they holding you back?  Would you like to find out?  Stay tuned for a special invitation tomorrow.  To your success, Tom  P.S. If you love the overlap between personal development and science applied, then here’s a bonus study for you.  [Watch “The Power of Expectations”](  To see for yourself just how powerful our expectations can be on our behaviour. Then consider how your beliefs, and not your ability, is holding you back.  Talks soon.  NLP Times, Real NLP Skills For The Real World [Unsubscribe]( | [Edit your details]( D&T New Media Limited Office E, 25th Floor, King Palace Plaza Kwun Tong Kowloon Hong Kong [Powered By Kartra] - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
