YOUR LIMBO IS LISTENING


In this lesson you will learn about your “Limbo”, which is the nickname I have given to the part of the brain responsible for emotions, as well as memory, motivation and many automatic bodily processes. You will discover that it is ‘wired’ to the area of your higher brain (I call the “Leader”) responsible for speech and language. The take away message is “Your Limbo is listening”, so speak positively!

EXPERIENCE: challenge yourself

IF IT DOESN’T CHALLENGE YOU, IT DOESN’T CHANGE YOU.

One of the best ways to learn is to do. Let me show you how to put the learnings from this lesson into practice. Any positive steps you make are steps in the right direction. But if you really want to challenge yourself…

1. Each day this week

go out of your way to give someone a genuine compliment, something that will make them feel really good about themselves. It will increase your Positivity Ratio!

2. Once this week

find a text or saying (or several) that you find inspirational and make an effort to memorise it. If you find yourself speaking negatively to yourself, stop and recite back these inspirational words.
