Mental preparation before white water rafting was a key to our successful and fun trip. The reality was, anything could have happened, for better or worse, and we couldn’t cover every eventuality. We were conditioned mentally with key elements in a most likely case scenario. For anything else, we’d have to keep our wits sufficiently to deal with it however we could on the spot. The key was in removing the fear by preparation ahead of time.

How often, in the course of everyday work and life, do we plunge into tasks just in order to get through them? After all, that’s being efficient, right? The reality is, it may be efficient but not necessarily the most EFFECTIVE approach. Sometimes, a more effective approach requires slowing down – either to build relationships while working, to notice the dynamics of a process, to pace ourselves for the long-haul, or to simply tune in to ourselves being ‘on-task.’

It was once thought that the brain is fixed and un-malleable. But modern researches have time and again shown the brain’s capability to prevent mental decline… or even reverse some of the most dreaded diseases, so as long as it is in the right environment.

Your brain is arguably your highest leverage in your life. Take good care of it and you’ll reap the abundant rewards. Yet few paid attention to their brain fitness, let alone do anything to improve it.

What would be best for you than being able to manifest everything you ever wanted in your life? Nothing would be better than this, would it?
