Hi,
When I asked about ideas for things to write about here in
Growth Focus that would help solve a problem that could
stand in your way of success I got the following reply:
"How about - What to do when you get 'hung up' on minor
issues - some help in determining when enough is enough and
you should move forward because over-analyzing is more
damaging to your progress than taking action. Something
along those lines?"
I'm sure you've been in that situation before as well.
You start with your do-list - the list of things that you
*will* do - the plan you have put together so you can
achieve your goals.
You work yourself through the first thing on the list, and
complete the second item, but with the third item it all
goes wrong.
You end up spending too much time on the task so you will
have problems getting through the rest of the tasks on
today's list.
Or you continue to find details that could be tweaked or
worked on just a little more.
Or you begin gathering information about something, but
fail to stop and end up with too much information - an
information avalanche.
Or you seek out information, but become incapacitated
because of information overload and fail to take any action
at all.
And it also seems like someone has cast a spell on you
because you fail to see this happening to you even if you
are right in the middle of it. :-(
But how would you like to learn a system that would allow
your un-conscious mind to automatically detect these
situations and let you conscious mind know about it?
The system is actually a combination of two great
researchers into the human brain.
It's the "Success and Failure Process" by Stuart A.
Lichtman combined with "Meta Yes'ing and Meta No'ing" by
Michael Hall and Bobby Bodenhammer.
The idea behind this simple model is to make it clear to
all parts of your brain, which activities are valued and
which should be watched out for.
Step 1:
Grab a blank sheet of paper
Divide it down the center
Write "Successes" on the left side
Write "Failures" on the right side
Step 2:
Halfway through the day and at the end of the day do the
following:
Look at your successes one by one - both the small and the
big successes
Write them down on the left side of the paper
Remember as vividly as you can how you felt at the time
when you accomplished those tasks
Say "Yes" loudly and with force.
Say "This is right - I want some more of this"
Similarly, look at your failures one by one - both the big
and the small failures
Write them down on the right side of the paper
Remember as vividly as you can how you felt at the time
when you failed those tasks
Say "No" loudly and with force
Say "That's not right - I don't want anymore of those"
Do this consistently and you will notice that you will
have more successes and fewer failures as your brain
becomes accustomed to what it is you really want to spend
your time on.
With time you will see that you become far better at
noticing when you spend too much time on any given task.
But how about other areas of your life?
Have you made any New Years resolutions such as: Eat
healthier and Stop smoking?
How do you think it will benefit you as you implement
these new habits into your daily life when you monitor your
progress by going through your list and meta-yes's your
successes and meta-no's your failures?
How about letting me know about your progress and
experiences when you have worked with this method for 14
days at feedback@growth-focus.com ?
To your wealth and growth

works with Michael Hall.
