Dealing With Stress
June 22, 2009 by

Have you ever met anyone who is rational when they are angry?
I certainly haven’t and to be honest, I must admit to succumbing to the red mist once or twice in my life 
The reason for this is simple, yet complex. It is to do with the way our brains are built.
Apparently, our brains make up around 2% of our weight but use up approximately 20% of the energy consumed by our body, and this doesn’t change no matter what we are doing. It’s the same whether we are active or sleeping, happy or sad.
Of that 20%, a small proportion is used for our working memory and conscious mind and the rest is used for the unconscious stuff, like regulating bodily functions, emotions, automatic tasks, habits and so on.
A problem arises when we get stressed.
When our brain senses a threat, as in fear, anger, stress etc. it allocates more resources to that emotion because it’s function is for our survival, to protect us as an individual and as a species.
Now, this increased demand does not increase the 20% of our bodies energy resources I mentioned earlier, it robs Peter to pay Paul and our working memory suffers, and onfortunately, rationality does too..
We go into survival mode.
The ramifications of this insight are significant because most of us go through life in modern society with stress levels that are way too high.
Do you think that this just might have an effect on our ability to think and act clearly?
Dealing with the pressures of life can be made alot easier by using someone who understands and is skilled in helping people move forward in life. More and more people are starting to realise that having a coach is a great way to achieve this.
Why not you?

Neural Maps

Neural Maps
In terms of productivity, developing new attitudes, behaviours and habits are not only desirable, they are essential.
They are necessary because without them you won’t be able to function effectively. Most routine things you do are done on “autopilot”, like driving your car, cleaning your teeth, doing your job etc.
As a human being you (along with everyone else) constantly:
• Make connections in your brain
• Divide things into pair of opposites (such as good, bad, right wrong)
• Look for coincidences
• Compare & contrast
• Differentiate
• Make meaning out of the connections you make
What you are doing is making new neural pathways in your brain and strengthening existing ones. These maps show up in areas such as skills, habits, opinions and beliefs.
Sadly, as I see it, most people seem to live their whole lives unconsciously, totally conditioned by family, peers, marketers, advertisers and propaganda. They don’t have an original thought; everything they think is thrown up habitually by their subconscious minds, some of it dysfunctional.
Does Intelligence Matter?
But no matter how much you improve the processing power of your “human computer” there is still the matter of the “data set” with which it views the world.
Put another way, the data on your “human hard drive” determines to a large extent how you interpret “new data.”
Or simpler still: depending on your experience of life up to this point, how you react to new experiences can differ radically.
For example, a man having been rejected by a woman may perceive that moment as humorous or devastating.
A woman may perceive the apparent sexual advances of a man as threatening or flattering.
A speaker may perceive laughter as his audience laughing with him – or at him.
Why?
Same stimuli + different perceptual instruments + unique neural map = different data”
“Neural map” refers to our best understanding of neuroscience to date: neural networking.
The human mind can be viewed as a complex network of data and connections between those data. (Warning: colossal understatement follows.)
In relation to your well-being, the data matters and the connections matter.
These connections are a complex web of different sensations, feelings and beliefs and actions.
Which neural maps may be hindering your productivity?
Why not create new, more empowering ones?

I was thinking the other day on the different factors that help people produce consistently good results on a day to day basis so I created the following video to explain in simple terms how this happens and more importantly, what to do about it.

Why We All Need A Coach
March 29, 2009 by
Filed under Conditioning, Productivity
The one critical reason why we all need a coach is that sometimes our perception of a situation is skewed and one dimensional. We all could do with someone to assist us to obtain a more balanced perspective in life.
It can be like riding a tobbogan down a hill in the snow again and again. There are many ways to get to the bottom but if you keep going down the same path you’ll make deep tracks that make you go faster but seriously limit your ability to change direction.
You get comfortably stuck in a rut.
If that rut is your life then the tracks that cause your problems are your fears, beliefs and habits.
Counter-Productive Belief
For a long time I ran my business with the belief that I should really look after my customers.
“Nothing wrong with that” I hear you saying to yourself. Perfectly true. But it wasn’t until someone helped me see what I couldn’t. That yes, I was looking after my customers but I wasn’t looking after me. There was an awful lot I was doing at my expense while thinking I was doing the right thing.
I was unable to see both sides of the equation.
Once seen from this new perspective and acted upon, it made a huge difference in terms of profit and self confidence.
Sport and Life
Having a coach to help you with your goals, beliefs and to develop empowering habits really does make sense. How many top sports people do you know that don’t have a coach? I’m certainly not aware of any.
You are participating in the most important game of all, your life.
Make the most of it.

See and hear James as he discusses the concept of “maps” in our brain that have a great influence on our behavior.
