Step 1: Intention

Intention reers o he goal ha you wan o manies in your lie.Everyhing we do has an underlying inenion, wheher we are

conscious o i or no, and we use i o deermine wha we really

wan o ocus on: money, inancial success, power, peace, romance,ec. So he irs sep in achieving personal and inancial success

is o clariy wha your inenion is, in wriing. Wriing helps o

organize he language ceners in your ronal lobe, which primes your moor corex ocarry ou your goal-direced sraegy in he world. Wihou a clear inenion, your mind

is likely o muli-ask by rying o solve oo many problems oo as. Inenion also

suppresses brains propensiy o worr y abou possible ailure.

Le me show you how i works right now. ake a shee o paper and wrie down hree

poenial goals ha you would like o achieve omorrow. Make hem simple, and makehem achievable, but write it down! his is essenial, because youre going o use his

inenion hroughou he six remaining seps.

Now ask yoursel he ollowing quesion: What is your deepest, innermost value? Wriedown a single word ha capures he essence o your value. I nohing comes o mindrigh away, jus rus your inuiion. In a minue or wo somehing will emerge ino

your consciousness.

Nex, compare your value o he hree goals you wroe down. Circle he goal ha

comes closes o relecing some aspec o your inner value. I your inenion or goalviolaes your personal values, a conlic may be creaed in your brain. Bu or he

purpose o his exercise, jus be aware o your inenion, value, and goal. his exercise,

by he way, is a required assignmen given o corporae execuives in he MBA programa Loyola Marymoun Universiy.

Now you are ready o proceed o he nex seps, which will rain your brain o say

ocused on your inenion and goal.

Step 2: Relaxation

A ense body or preoccupied mind inerrups he cogniive processes necessary oraccomplishing any ask, and relaxaion is he easies way o reduce sress. Deep relaxaion

promoes neurological and cardiovascular healh, bu i also improves ateniveness,

alerness, memory uncioning, and social awareness. I urns down he aciviy in heemoional brain, where anxiey, doubs, and uncerainy are always on he verge o derailing

youre your inenion and goals. Deep relaxaion simulaes he precuneus, which many

scieniss believe is par o he core circui ha governs human consciousness. In oherwords, relaxaion wakes you up and gives you more energy o pursue your goals. Sress

wears you down.

Whas he ases way o relax? here are hree hings ha neuroscience has ound ha

will ake you ino a conscious sae o sereniy in less han a minue or wo: slow deep

breahing hrough your nose, slow conscious sreching o your body, and believe ior no yawning. here are, o dae, 43 published sudies showing ha yawning is he

ases way o emporarily alleviae neurological sympoms like headaches, exhausion,

anxiey, and anger.


5/20

www.praxisnow.com

Research has shown ha genle orms o breahing lowers sress and anxiey, improves

coping skills, helps people deal wih subsance abuse, improves ones general sense

well being, and improves sel-eseem. Breahing exercises also help people dealwih problems such as panic disorder, hear disease, and lung disease. Slow ocused

breahing also increases dopamine levels in dieren pars o he brain, which explains

why he experience is pleasurable.1

So ake a momen righ now yawn a ew imes and breahe in slowly hrough your nose.hen, slowly roll your head around, sreching he muscles o your neck. Now, ake

a deep breah in and ighen all he muscles in your arms, hands, shoulders, legs, and

ee, and hold hem igh or as long as you can. hen, breahe ou, relaxing all yourmuscles. Finally, shake ou our arms and legs, and noice how relaxed you eel.

Youll probably noice ha youre no longer hinking abou evens rom he pas, or

concerns abou he uure. his is he perec sae in which o ener he nex sep.

Step 3: Concentration

I you are no ully relaxed, you wil l no be able o ully concenrae on your inenionor your goal. Bu once you learn how o consciously relax, you have o rain your brain

o say ocused on your goal. Is really an exraordinary process: you begin wih a goal-

oriened hough, and he more you ocus on i , he more your brain begins o plo ousraegies o carry ha hough ino he world. Oher animals, even primaes,

can barely do his because hey have ar ewer neural connecions ha run

rom he ronal lobe o he oher pars o he brain.

You can rain your brain o ocus on virually anyhing, bu researchshows ha cerain mediaion pracices improve your concenraion

skills. Im going o guide you hrough wo radiional

concenraion exercises, each o which have been documened oenhance your physical, emoional and cogniive skil ls. Wel l begin

wih he oldes mediaion pracice in he world breahing.

www.praxisnow.com

1) Si down in a comorable chair, in a quie place where nohing will disurb you or

nex ew minues. Res your hands in your lap, and uncross your legs, placing your

ee la on he loor.

2) Now, do nohing more han pay aenion o your breah. Breahe in slowlyhrough your nose, and noice he cool emperaure o he air. hen slowly exhale

hrough your nose. Noice he emperaure as you breahe ou. How warm or cold

does i eel?

3) Coninue o slowly breahe in an ou hrough your nose en imes, and noicehow he sensaions change. ake slow, deep breahs, in and ou, and i you mind

wanders, jus bring your aenion back o your breah.

4) Now, shi your ocus o your ches, and eel how i rises and alls wih each breah

you ake. Slowly breahe in o he coun o ive, hen slowly breahe ou o hecoun o ive. Do his en imes and hen reurn o your normal breahing. Noice

how your breahing has changed. Are you breahing slower? Or deeper? How ar

down ino your lungs can you eel he coolness o your breah?


7/20

www.praxisnow.com

5) Pu one hand on your ches, and he oher on

your belly. ake a deep breah in and wach how

your ches and belly moves. hen slowly breaheou. Which moves irs? Your ches, or your

belly? ake ive more breahs and wach how he

sensaions in your body change.

6) Now reurn o your normal breahing, and liseno he sounds in he room. Wha do you hear? Do

hey seem more inense?

7) Nex, shi your ocus and lisen o he sounds o

your breahing. Immerse yoursel in he sounds asdeeply as you possibly can.

8) Now, reurn your awareness o your body. Does

i eel more ense or relaxed? Does i eel more

warm or cool? Are here any pars o your body ha seem ense or uncomorable?

Jus noice he ension, and ake anoher deep breah hrough your nose.

9) Finally, o bring his exercise o a close, slowly look around he room, urning yourhead rom one side o he oher. hen slowly rise rom your chair. ake a momen

o see how you eel sanding up, and consciously breahe in and ou. See how long

you can say in ouch wih his deep sense o ocused relaxaion.

his nex concenraion exercise was creaed by Dr. Herber Benson a Harvard. odayi is used in hundreds o sress reducion programs hroughou he counry, generaing

neurological and psychological saes o sereniy and healh.2 You simply ocus on a

word or phrase ha has deep personal meaning o you, and you repea i as you slowly

breahe in and ou. Research shows ha he repeiion o any posiive word or phrasewill reduce sress, anxiey, and anger while simulaneously improving ones qualiy o

lie.3 And is paricularly eecive when brough ino he business communiy.4


8/20

www.praxisnow.com

Wha I wan you o do now is o repea, eiher silenly or ou loud, he word you chose

in Sep 1 ha represened your deepes innermos value. Coninue o repea i or as

long as you eel comorable, and noice how i aecs your enire sense o sel. In moso he research sudies, his exercise is perormed or 12 o 20 minues.

Finally, I wan you o do he same exercise wih he simple goal you waned o achieve

by omorrow evening. urn i ino a shor phrase and repea i over and over o

yoursel as you slowly and deeply breahe in and ou.

When you learn o say inensely ocused on your goal, you will lierally be driven osucceed, and when you apply he nex sep, your brain has no choice bu o propel you

ino successully achieving your goal.

Step 4: Visualization, Guided Imagery, and

Imagination

Even i you don hink youre good a visualizaion, your brain is buil o envision

virually everyhing in he universe. Even absrac noions like peace are processed

unconsciously wihin he visual ceners o he corex. In ac, he more you visualize


9/20


10/20

www.praxisnow.com

surgeons hands move more precisely. In ac, jus imagining your movemens becoming

more exible will signicanly increase he exibiliy and coordinaion in ha par o he

body you are ocusing on.10 Why? Because he moor corex is highly inerconneced wihhe imaginaion-processing ceners in he ronal, occipial and parieal lobes.11 In oher

words, our houghs and behavior are inseparably inerwined.

Heres one inal exercise ha wil l help you rerain your brain o uncion a is bes. Ask

yoursel, as you did earlier, wha is your deepes value? Perhaps, his ime, a dierenvalue will pop ino consciousness. Now, ake a momen and visualize ha value and

noice how i makes you eel. Are you eeling happy? Excied? Add he emoion o

living his highes value al l he ime. How does ha make you eel? Finally, visualizeyoursel 10 years rom now and imagine ha you succeeded a everyhing ruly desired.

Enjoy ha eeling now, because i wil l prime your brain o seek ou everyhing in your

surrounding ha will bring you closer o ha goal. And remember: imaginaion is wha

he ronal lobes do bes. hey can generae sel-doub and uncerainy, or hey cangenerae a eeling o ulimae success. You now have he basic ool ki o change he

srucure and uncion o your brain.


11/20

www.praxisnow.com

Step 5: Mindulness

Mindulness is one o he mos powerul ways o rerainyour brain. When you ener a sae o mindul awareness,

you bring your aenion ino he presen momen as

you observe each hough, eeling, and sensaion as ilows hrough your sream o consciousness. Bu heres

one essenial rule: you learn o observe yoursel wihou

judgmen. his urns ou o be he mos eecive way oinerrup any disurbing eeling or mood. Mindulness

allows you o suspend habiuaed biases, and in his unique

sae o awareness, ineecive belies all away as newneural circuis are ormed ha will moivae you oward

greaer produciviy and success.

Mindulness, as he enclosed sudies demonsrae,

has shown i o be eecive or enhancing mood, sel-

awareness, and overall healh. Is also one o he mospowerul ways o work hrough desrucive emoions such as anger, depression and

ear.12 When hese emoions are acivaed, hey will immediaely undermine your

abiliy o work , make money, and achieve inancial success.

ry his exercise he nex ime a disrupive mood occurs: Immediaely ocus on your

innermos value and goal. Breahe deeply and relax or 60 seconds. Now, si back inyour chair and allow your anger or anxiey o low hrough your mind. Don reac o

i, jus wach, wihou judgmen, how i unolds and changes. In less han ive minues,

i will dissipae and lose is power over you. In ha momen o mindulness, youwill discover ha your emoions no longer have power over you. Is one o he mos

amazing experiences a person can have.

How does mindulness aec he brain? Is a orm o ronal lobe consciousness.

he more srongly you ocus on jus being aware o he momen-o-momen shis in


12/20

www.praxisnow.com

eelings, houghs, and sensaions, aciviy in he emoional ceners o your brain shu

down. his has a prooundly beneicial eec on every aspec o neural uncioning.

Mindully waching your houghs and eelings is one o he easies exercises o do,

because you jus si here and observe he consan inner dialogue ha is par o hebiological process o he brain. And ye is one o he hardes exercises o maser,

requiring weeks o menal pracice.

Heres an easy way o begin. I wan you o imagine ha you are siing on a hillside in

he ores nex o a beauiul mounain sream. Can you see and eel he sun ileringhrough he rees? Can you hear he gurgling o he sream? Can you smell he

reshness o he waer? Wha abou he air on your skin?

As you si nex o he imaginary sream, I wan you o pay atenion o any houghs or

eelings ha are currenly owing hrough your mind. ake each one o hose houghs oreelings and place hem on an imaginary lea, hen wach ha lea oa down he sream.

ake a deep breah and reurn o he awareness o your body. I your mind says quie,

has wonderul, bu he mind has a way o generaing an endless sream o houghs.


13/20

www.praxisnow.com

For example, you migh be hinking, righ now: How silly his is. So, you jus noice

ha hough, wihou judgmen, and you le i loa away.

Oen, youll be disraced by an ich. Or youll suddenly ge annoyed by an ouside

noise. Jus noice i, pu i on a lea, and le i go, reurning o your breahing as yousimply wach wha happens nex. You are, in essence, living in he presen momen.

Anoher disracing hough may occur: Ive go o ge going because I have so many

hings I should do. I you have such houghs, jus pu hem on anoher lea and wach

hem loa down he sream. Yawn, breahe deeply, and come back o ha momenaryplace o quie and peaceulness, and wach he nex hough or eeling ha comes up.

Coninue o do his or he nex ew minues o silence.

How long should you pracice mindulness? Is really up o you. Research shows ha i

akes beween 12 o 40 minues per day, or abou eigh weeks, beore a brainscan cannoice deep changes in neural uncioning. Bu i you only eel comorable pracicing

mindulness or ive or en minues, hen rus your inuiion. Obviously, he more ime

invesed, he greaer he resuls you will achieve.

ry o se aside a speci ic ime o day, like he irs hing in he morning aer you

awake, or shorly aer work, or he las hing in he evening righ beore bed. A regularime rains your brain o ge ino he habi o being mindully relaxed, and he more

oen you do i, he more quickly youll be able o reach your goals wih he leas

amoun o resisance and sress.

Remember: Mindulness-based exercises have been widely sudied andhave been ound o help people wih depression, anxiey, high blood

pressure, psoriasis, rauma, eaing disorders, subsance abuse, and a

variey o psychopahological behaviors.13 Terapiss who pracice

mindulness-based exercises have beter resuls wih heir paiens,and paiens who use hem no longer need o see heir herapiss.14

Mindulness also osers relaionship empahy, a home and a work.15

Step 6: Cognitive Priming

When you are in a neurological sae o deep relaxaion and aeniveness, your mindwill respond o any menal suggesion ha you generae, see or hear. his inormaion

is sen o he halamus, which relays his inormaion o he moivaional ceners o

he brain. However, in order o improve neural perormance, youll need o overrideold memory circuis ha are embedded w ih negaive, unproducive, and ineicien

belies and habis rom he pas. Forunaely, he neocorex is exraordinarily lexible,

and his neuroplasiciy allows us o use our posiive houghs and imaginaion odeacivae ineecive memories and habis. Brainscan sudies can acually show how

our houghs cause neurons o ire and rewire ino dieren paerns o aciviy.

For example, you can use he 3-o-1 posiiviy raio ha has been proven o be he bes

predicor o a successul business venure and a successul. And is very easy o use.

Jus keep a wrien log o every posiive and negaive eeling, hough, and commenyou make. I you have less han hree posiive aciviies o every negaive one, your

business, inancial resuls and personal relaionships are likely o ail. he mos

successul people and businesses have a posiiviy raio o 5-o-1.


15/20

www.praxisnow.com

For he nex hree days, ry his experimen. Keep a posiiviy and negaiviy journal.

Youll discover ha as each day goes by, your raio will improve. And i you wan o boos

he power o his exercise, deliberae repea a series o posiive armaions, using heconcenraion exercise given above. Heres anoher cogniive priming exercise ha you can

do or a week. Is been proven ha your lie and work saisacion will increase for the next

six months! Each nigh, wrie down hree hings you did well a, and briey explain why.

Youll also ge proound improvemen in boh work and cogniive skills i you keep agraiude journal. Wha makes his work? Wriing! I you jus hink abou posiive

goals and eelings o graiude, measureable improvemens in work saisacion and

personal saisacion are much smaller. So wrie hem down. A new sudy, soon o bepublished, shows ha i you creae a wrie ou a comprehensive plan o achieve your

inancial goals, youll increase your success by 50%.

Tere are dozens o oher cogniive priming ools ha can help you gain personal and

nancial success. Tese include using daily precision armaions, visualizaionechniques, posiive sel alk and a commimen shee o ideniy saboage

behaviors and develop couner-sraegies. Bu he mos imporan sep or

creaing permanen and lasing change is accounabiliy.

Step 7: Accountability

Tis, surprisingly, is he mos overlooked sep in he world. A home, our parens hold us

accounable. When were in school, were held accounable by our eachers. Tey gradeus, and we eiher do he work or we ail. And ye, as aduls, when we choose o improve

our nancial, buisness or emoional condiion, we rarely apply accounabiliy. We can

use ourselves. Why no? Because he well-documened dynamics o cogniive bias are

unconsciously operaing in our minds. We simply do no see ourselves as accuraely as weneed o i we wan o maximize our poenial and succeed a reaching our dreams.

And ye accounabiliy is he easies hing o arrange. All you need is a menor or a good

riend, or beter ye, a small eam o skilled colleagues who agree o hold each oher


16/20

www.praxisnow.com

accounable or achieving daily, weekly, monhly, and yearly goals. Make a promise o

yoursel, righ now, o nd 2 or 3 people who will hold you accounable or achieving

your personal, business and nancial goals. And draw up a writen conracual agreemen.

In Conclusion

Tere you have i: 7 seps o guaranee personal and nancial success. You are now

on your way o achieving anyhing you desire, and all you have o do is expand yourawareness and abiliy o ocus, one day a a ime, o include more and more o he world:

your riends, colleagues, and he endless opporuniies ha awai you. Everyhing youneed is in reach, as long as you say relaxed and ocused on your deepes values and goals.

You can hese sraegies o shine a ligh on any aspec o your inner and ouer lie, andyou can change any limiing habi or oudaed belie ha you urn your aenion o.

All you have o do is pracice hese seps, reining hem as you apply your own inner

genius and creaiviy o creaing he lie you wan. When you rus your inner wisdomand inuiion, all remnans o sel-doub wil l permanenly all away.
