good at (big or small) and they seek to make the most of their
talents.

The Brain Works at Three Levels .
• Conscious
• Sub conscious
• Unconscious
We see and judge the world through our past experiences
– lenses of distortion.
We are influenced by our past experiences (especially
trauma), culture, religion, education, family, TV, facebook,
peers.
Thoughts/Emotions connection

Stress Cycle
Be aware of your thoughts when you feel stressed
There is no feeling without a thought
Thoughts create meanings
Creating new meanings
Replace your thought – give the situation another meaning
Using paradoxical intention
Using sub conscious before sleep

Harnessing the Power of Thought and
Language

We are who we declare ourselves to be – power of thought and language.
We are our 'word' .
We become what we think about all day long.
We can either be victims of our life or we can create our life (beginning
with creating our day), in big and small ways.
We have the ability to choose our emotions.
We can choose who our friends are and how we relate with family,
teachers and friends.
We can create the future we want to live into, we begin by imagining it.
We can choose what we do each day to help us achieve our goals
Four Levels of Creating
THINK IT
• Everything begins with a thought
VISUALISE IT
• Try to imagine what you want by playing it like a movie in your
head.
SPEAK IT
• Tell a friend what you plan to do
ACTION IT
• Just do it – one small thing at a time. EVERY ACTION COUNTS, BIG
AND SMALL!!
Get clear on your higher purpose,
vision, mission
Getting clear about own values and life purpose will help us determine
our goal, help us stay motivated and stimulates our awareness about
what's important for our life.
• Be absolutely clear about what you want, why you want it, when
you want it and what you are will to do [or give up] to get it.
• Ask yourself:
–
–
–
–
Where am I now?
Where do I want to be?
What's my vision for work, for my career, for my life?
What do I really want? Why do I want it? What will I be when I achieve
it?
• Create a mission statement for your work, your life. Read it each
day.
• Create a goal statement
Relaxation
and
visualization
Strategic Visioning
exercise.
This creates a space for learning
Our brain works in pictures and words
WE create;
• first by thinking (in words and pictures)
• then we speak it (we declare it in our words),
• most powerful of all we do it (take action).
• THINK IT, VISUALISE IT, SPEAK IT, ACTION IT
Daily Action Plan
