Pavlov Hypnosis on Animals for the Skeptic!

This eminent Russian physiologist and founder of classical conditioning was not a hypnotist, but in his brilliant work studied the science as applicable to animals.

While observers for years had noted hypnotic effects on animals, Pavlov clearly equated hypnosis with conditioning. His series of scholarly discussions with Sigmund Freud on the subject of hypnosis are now considered classics in the behavioral sciences.

Dr. Pavlov created a new dimension in behavioral conditioning in his experiments with dogs, eliciting salivating with bells and lights, so did he also construe a (then) new aspect of hypnosis.

Pavlov claimed animal hypnosis was a "reflex of self-preservation - if the animal could not seek safety in flight or fight, it immobilized itself, and it seemed this immobility had the power of halting the enemy's attack."

He experimented with inhibitory techniques such as laying dogs on their backs with a monotonous stimuli and in fact hypnotized his dogs to remain in their inert state. He felt that feat was the reflex for inhibiting animals and demonstrated how hypnosis (like sleep) could be brought about by monotonous stimuli.

In the many experiments Pavlov and his associates had with animals to construct behavioral response, they noted the many and varying hypnotic states, degrees or levels exhibited. His contributions to hypnosis and psychology in general are enormous and can never be over-estimated.

It was Pavlov's classical conditioning that led to operant conditioning (Watson-Skinner) and today's Behavior Modification, a new science highly compatible with hypnosis.

Become The Master Of Your Mind - The Impetus For Driving Your Success

You can ignite the flame of your subconscious
mind to create the motivation for achieving your
goals and coping with change. During these times
of crisis, shocking news of terrorism, biological
warfare and sliding economic conditions you can
transform your thinking and refocus your mind to
achieve extraordinary results in life and
business.

Now, more importantly than anytime in the last 20
years you need to transform your thinking from
reactive to proactive in your business. A
reactive mind is poisoned by the mass weapon of
self-talking ourselves into mediocrity and
failure. A proactive mind comes about through a
simple shift in the way you talk to yourself. By
shifting your thinking you literally transform
your business into higher performance levels and
productivity.


Proactive thinking is critical for achieving
greater success in business today. Your success
will come about with discipline in your strategic
performance marketing and planning. Regardless
of the competition in the marketplace today, we
find there is a greater weakness that prevails
because of complacency and dispirited
entrepreneurs over the fears of the present
economy. Most of who are looking to cut staff,
reduce inventories, eliminate training, and slash
pricing to survive - when in fact they should be
focusing their thinking outside the box with
solutions on how to capture more customer share.


Adopting a proactive mindset means that you solve
your problems before they happen, opposed to
reacting with a bandage approach and scrambling
for whatever market share is out there. You have
no control over the events of the world or
current economic conditions. But you do have
control over how you position through thinking,
strategic performance marketing and planning.


Here are 5 steps to propel your performance and
edge out your competition while driving your
business up several levels.


1. Think of the ultimate strategic objective you
want to achieve. Write out your goals and
objectives and crystallize in your mind how you
will execute to arrive at the results you want.


2. Rework your tactical processes - specific
action you'll use to accomplish you goals.


3. Enroll your entire organization into your
vision and strategic objectives. Help them take
personal ownership of their role for
accomplishing your goals.


4. Leverage and capitalize on the relationships of your clients,
vendors, centers of influence, associations, and
other outside business contacts.


5. Lead with a passion, purpose, plan and the training for
reinforcing the behaviors and skills necessary to
enable everyone to take appropriate action.


Brilliant marketing doesn't always yield big
results - But proactive thinking does.

Where Myths Saturate our Minds

4 Perilous Myths to Avoid in Your Career and Life

Positioning or should I say extreme positioning has become a critical skill for competing with a sales and marketing edge. It's virtually impossible to remain a recluse wishing that we never had to come out from behind our computers.

Regardless of how compelling technology has become in influencing others to participate in our offerings doesn’t eliminate the need for constant contact with other people. Aesthetic values continue to reach higher levels of importance in the consumers purchasing habits. Like ability of advertisement, first impressions of company facilities, packaging, customer service communications, and yes most importantly, the value created in relationships has serious implications on the continued grow of a business.

Meeting those demands of aesthetic values and favorable impressions on others can be perilous, especially if it becomes an urgent drive. The urgent need to gain approval of everyone is an impossible desire to meet. The bottom line is that people have different tastes and you can't possibly please everyone. If you try, you will find yourself living in a bubble of universal popularity myths -- leading to anxieties and procrastination.

Flying high in your career requires that you see what myth is and what is rational. Dr. William J. Knaus says, "We act on approval-seeking myths to relieve social tensions." "These approval-seeking habits of mind inevitably lead to procrastination as we wait for the myth to become real."

Here are four examples of myths and the rational alternative suggested by Dr. Knaus.

• Myth: Perfect first impression -- A conviction that disaster follows unless you make a perfect first impression. When you feel the pressure of having to make a perfect first impression, your hesitation and uncertainty ruins the impression.
  
• Rational alternative -- Consider that though first impressions are often important, acting natural and showing interest in others is more important in creating a good first impression than worrying about how you are going to come across.
  
• Myth: Perfect articulate person -- The notion that you should not express yourself unless you can do it in a highly articulate style.
  
• Rational alternative -- Remember that ordinary conversations rarely translate into perfectly written text.
  
• Myth: Perfect preparation -- this is the belief that you can not speak up in groups until you have read all the latest important books and completely analyzed all the current news.
  
• Rational alternative -- You learn and contribute more by talking to people about what they know, rather than concerning yourself with discussing the thoughts of book writers and newsmakers.
  
• Myth: Perfect complete comfort -- Idealized prerequisite to social interaction. You avoid any social contact until you feel completely comfortable and at ease. In the end, you procrastinate until the opportunity passes.
  
• Rational Alternative -- Certain amount of discomfort is natural when you meet people for the first time. Feeling awkward is more normal than being comfortable.
