Here I discuss my insights on success much of which is based on Psycho-Cybernetics, a science of self-improvement created by Dr. Maxwell Maltz nearly 40 years ago.

Science Proves You Can Train Your Brain To Feel What You Want

A scientific study of long-term meditators who meditated on
compassion daily shows that you can train your brain to become
better at feeling specific emotions like compassion.

What the researchers did is take two groups of meditators and
compare them.

One group had been meditating on compassion for over 10,000 hours
over a period of years.

The other group had been meditation on compassion for about 14
hours over a period of two weeks.

Scientists then measured the brainwaves of these two groups in
the lab and found something that had never been seen in previous
measurements of brain activity--the long-termmeditators had
extremely high levels of gamma activity when meditating on
compassion and were able to sustain these levels during the
entire period of their meditation. The second group produced
very little gamma during their meditation period.

This is significant because people usually only show short bursts
of gamma activity during periods of very intense concentration.

However, researchers also found that before beginning their
meditation during the testing the long-term meditators had higher
than normal levels of gamma activity in their brains.

This shows that their training didn't just increase their ability
to produce feelings of compassion during meditation but also
increased their ability to feel compassion at any time.

Why is this so remarkable?

It gives scientific evidence that you can change how you feel
with mental training.

And isn't this exactly what we do with Psycho-Cybernetics?

We go into the Theater Of Our Minds daily and remember successes
from the past and imagine successes in the future to train our
brains to have that "winning" feeling.

If we do this daily our general sense of confidence will rise
just as the long-term meditators general sense of compassion
improved with time.

You'll become a person who feels successful, who expects success.

And of course this will cause you to create success over and over
again.

So if you haven't already committed to remembering past successes
and imagining a successful future on a daily basis then let the
idea of permanently changing your brain motivate you to do it
now.
