... to Achieve Growing and Sustainable Brain Function
It’s clear. Our brains are important, even more important than our bodies. We know how to keep our bodies fit. But how do we keep our brains fit? The answer is surprisingly simple.
Research has shown that keeping your mind fit can lessen short term memory loss that comes with stress, stave off dementia and make Alzheimer’s less ...
Masters have said for centuries, “The answer is in the question.” I’ve found this to be deeply true. What you ask, how you ask it…even how you formulate a question, has a profound effect on the answer, AND what you do.
Studies that show how our minds work suggest that our subconscious mind is constantly asking questions. Shall I sit here or there? Do I want to eat this or that? How ...
We were lounging at a pool in Hawaii. It was a day off from work. Though warm enough to be outside enjoying the sun, the wind was blowing fiercely, a precursor to a storm.
Some of the servers were blinded as the wind whipped their long hair into their faces. The pool had mini-waves. Palm trees that normally swayed to a hula rhythm, now rocked back and forth to the beat of heavy metal. ...
When people hear that they can’t lick their elbow – many try it. Some have even proven the “fact” wrong. There are YouTube videos of people with freakishly long (or some might say “wonderfully long”) tongues who have proven that licking your elbow is possible! However, when people hear, “You can’t survive a jump from a 10-story building” – no one goes out and tries THAT!
What’s the ...
“Yes” is a word that can really impact our lives. But saying “no” can be just as important, maybe more so. The word “no” is one of the most important words you can use to help achieve your goals. Say “no” to that extra helping of food, that friend who takes up your time, or that purchase you will, undoubtedly, regret…and you can lose weight, have spare time and save money!
Yet, saying ...

There are so many lessons in nature.
The one I want to bring to you at this moment, the one I'm thinking about at this moment, is simply being rooted, just like these trees.
If they're not grounded deeply, if they're not rooted in something, they will not survive.
We have some pretty healthy wind storms up here sometimes in ...
Imagine a strange, make-believe world where a person in a business promotes someone ABOVE them. Follow me here…
Jane wants to know how she’s doing in her business and whether she’s liked. To find out she promotes Peter to a rank above her then asks Peter to evaluate her. Jane doesn’t like what Peter says so promotes Ann to a high rank too, then asks Ann what she thinks. Ann conducts an ...
A Harvard Economist, Sendhil Mullainathan, partnered with a Princeton psychologist, Eldar Shafir, and found that a scarcity of anything affects you, often in ways you are not aware of. They discovered that a scarcity of ANY type affects decision-making and productivity, and it does so in ALL aspects of life, even in areas not related to the shortage.
This is easy to understand if you ...
When we ask people what kind of mail they like to receive, and what kind they don’t, the answers are consistent and predictable. People want to receive checks, letters, cards from loved ones, or magazines of interest. They don’t want to receive bills, junk mail or bulk advertising.
To say it differently, people want to receive mail that contributes to them in some way, mail that ...

Time management is not really about managing time.
It's about managing you within time.
Time remains pretty consistent of course, unless you talking about quantum mechanics and then it's all crazy.
But time is time. What happens to you during time shows whether you know how to manage yourself, your tasks, your to-dos within ...
I was jogging in a new neighborhood once when a rather mean looking dog began running toward me at full speed. His snarling, barking, aggressive attack came to an abrupt end when he got to the end of his chain. That chain was connected to a sturdy collar and jerked the dog off his feet, leaving him whimpering and helpless on the ground.
Have you ever felt that way? You start excitedly ...

People say there's a reason for everything, and actually there is.
But sometimes we're in prison with our reason.
Something can happen and it can cause you to feel lethargic, depressed, sad, angry, jealous, whatever it is. And you can tell anybody, the reason I feel this way is because of that. Whatever that was.
But if ...
Imagine this. You ask a question. It’s a question posed to your boss, your spouse or your friend. The person looks right at you and doesn’t say a word. There is a calm, neutral expression on their face. They have simply received your question but have not answered it…yet. What goes on inside of you?
Most of us have an aversion to this kind of silence. A 30-second pause can feel like an ...

If a relationship needs to change, there are two things that are absolutely necessary in order for it to change. If one of these is not in place, it will not change.
And I'm talking about a relationship between a business and customers, between a friend and a friend, between a spouse and a spouse.
And those two ...
Want to know what happened? Don’t ask why.
“Why?” you ask? I’ll tell you – but just this once.
If you want to know the truth about why something happened, don’t use the word “why” to find out. If you do, it triggers the other person’s brain to answer in a way that clouds the truth.
Most of the time in our past, when we heard the word “why?” it triggered mixed emotions and mixed ...
The state you move to affects your whole life. If you want to be a surfer, it doesn’t help to move from Kentucky to North Dakota. A move to Hawaii would have much more positive effects.
Achieve a Better Life by Choosing a Better State
We have a friend who goes from the state of California to the state of Arizona every winter. His doctor actually PRESCRIBED Arizona for the man’s health. ...

How many times have you said, or heard someone else say, "I need a break"?
I was working with a man once, a manager of a rather large firm, and he wanted a break so bad. He kept talking about it and finally I asked him, What does a break look like for you? And he said, a few days off going fishing.
And I said so you can't take a ...

For forty years, Bill Truby and his team have solved the problems business owners and leaders have with simple, commonsense tools and teachings. Truby Achievements, Inc. trains owners, ...
