The six steps of NAC



The six steps of NAC  (Neuro Associative Conditioning) can be used for anything : challenges with relationships, problems in business, being stuck in a pattern of yelling at your children. 

Let's say you worry too much about things over which you have no control. How can you use the six steps to change this disempowering pattern?

1) Ask yourself, "What do I want to do instead of worry?"

2) Get leverage on yourself and realize what worry does to destroy your life. Bring it to threshold; see what it would cost you ultimately in your life so that your're not willing to  pay that price anymore. 

3)Interrupt the pattern : Every time you worry, break the pattern by being totally outrageous. Belt out "Oh, What a Beautiful Morning!" at the top of your lungs.

4)Create an empowering alternative. What will you do instead of worry? Pull out your journal and write down a plan of what you can do immediately instead. Maybe you can go for a run, and while you're running, you can think of new solutions.

5) Condition the new pattern: vividly imagine and rehearse this new pattern with tremendous emotional intensity and repetition until this new thought, behaviour  or emotional pattern is automatic.
Reinforce yourself by taking the first step : see yourself succeeding again and again. Seeing the results in advance can give you the pleasure you desire. Again, use repetition and emotional intensity to condition the new pattern until it's consistent. 

6) Test it and see if it works. Think about the situation that used to worry you, and see that you no long worry in this situation.

INVESTING : Can You Borrow Money to Buy Stocks?

  It seems like an obvious move. We’re in a bull market and stocks are soaring. Interest rates are still near historic lows. If you can borrow money at a single-digit annual interest rate, you should be able to earn enough in the market to pay off the loan and earn a substantial profit. But how does that work in practice? Can you borrow money to buy stocks? And more importantly, should you? Let’s take a closer look. Yes, You Can Borrow Money to Buy Stocks The simple answer to the question is yes: you can invest borrowed money in stocks. It’s a risky strategy. It’s also quite popular, especially during bull markets. Some people have used it very effectively and made money. Others have lost, sometimes badly. That’s the simple answer, but how do you go about doing it? The decision to invest with bor rowed money comes down to comparing the cost of borrowing versus the expected investment returns… If the returns exceed the cost, then the transaction makes economic sense. How Can You Inv...

The Magnificent Obsession - Creating A Compelling Future....

GIANT GOALS PRODUCE GIANT MOTIVATION So often, people ask me, "Where do I get my energy? With all that intensity, no wonder you're so successful. I just don't have your drive; I guess  I'm not motivated. I guess I'm lazy." My usual response is, "You're not lazy! You just have impotent goals!" Frequently I get a confused look to this response, at which point I explain that my level of excitement and drive comes from my goals. Every morning when I wake up, even if I feel physically exhausted from a lack of sleep, I'll still find the drive I need because my goals are so exciting to me. They get me up early, keep me up late, and inspire me to marshal my resources and use everything I can possibly find within the sphere of my influence to bring them to fruition. The same energy and sense of mission is available to you now, but it will never be awakened  by puny goals. The first step is to develop bigger, more inspiring, more challenging ...

Today we will learn about Finance  and the keys to building lasting wealth.  Wealth  today, has become a very critical aspect of our lives.Most of the tensions in life, relationship problems and self-esteem problems is because of  lack of wealth.  People don't see  who or what you are, they see  WHAT YOU HAVE.  We are often judged by our economic status.    We fail to remember that  "Money was made for Man, and not Man for Money".   True, wealth is important, but so also are human values. You may have all the wealth in the world but you may be too old to enjoy it, or you may have a  major illness which does not allow you to enjoy your wealth. Then what use is the wealth?  When we are young, our whole life goes by working hard in our jobs to  create wealth. Then after 30 or 40 years are over we find out that the wealth needs to be maintained so we work more hard to keep our wealth and we ...
