Changing your personality.
What is your personality essentially?
It's your collection of habitual emotions, thoughts, and behaviours.
I suggest reading a little on the way the brain forms neurone connections. If I light up a cigarette once, a little neurone pathway is created. Everytime I smoke a cigarette that pathway is strengthened (especially if it is a pleasurable action). The brain is constantly forming new connections.
Your personality is the product of which pathways of emotion, thought and behaviour are the strongest.
For example you might be an anxiety-ridden, negative thinking, lazy and unfulfilled person, or you might be a joyful, open-minded, positive and motivated success machine. (Sorry the examples kind of suck, but you get the idea).
So what are you? You are basically one big habit. A whole load of habitual ways of feeling, thinking and behaving exist within your brain, new ones are formed over your lifetime, but for a lot of people this process is arbitrary - they don't consciously take the time to design the person they are becoming in terms of how they think, feel and behave.
You've made the first step towards conscious growth which is thinking: hey, I want to have some say in the process, I want to choose who and what I become.
So how do you begin consciously implementing this desire to change? You've got to choose how you want to feel, think and behave and spend some time every day bringing your actual feelings, thoughts and behaviour into alignment with the person you desire to become.
Affirmations, visualisation, reminding yourself of your goals daily etc. are commonly touted techniques (that do work pretty well!)
I think the best way is to hit directly at the way that you feel (the emotional) rather than spend to much time altering the mental. If you feel incredible, the right mental attitudes tend to follow suit.
I reccomend Anthony Robbins, GET THE EDGE for this. Its probably the most powerful product you can use to move yourself in the direction you want to go. If you want any more info, let me know!!
Check out Steve's latest blog post too, the holosync stuff sounds interesting, but I've never tried it, so can't vouch for it.
