• What action should we take now?

• What are the benefits of achieving that objective?

• What will it take to have it work?

• What will it take to move closer to our objective?

• What would work here?

• What key things need to happen to achieve our objectives in a timely manner?

DISABLING LANGUAGE

• What’s your problem?

• Who did that?

• Why did you do that

• Don’t you know better than that?

• Why are you behind schedule?

• Who made that decision?

• Why are you so far behind the other team?

Genetic vs Lifestyle Choice

25% of what is called our Real Age

and determines our Life Span and

Health Span is due to Genetics or

Genes.

75% is due to our Lifestyle Choices.

Genes vs. Lifestyle

Some genes lead to disease. But for most people, a healthy lifestyle

trumps inherited risk. You can do a lot to break a genetic pattern.

Donald Lloyd-Jones M.D.

Epigenetics

The DNA code itself never changes.

Thoughts, behaviors, and environment can “turn on” or “turn off” different sequences in the code.

Epigenetics

The word literally means “above the genes.”

The question: Is the genetic code fixed?

Neuroplasticity

“The brain is adaptable and malleable, changing moment-by-moment

every day.”

Dr. Fred Travis

The Brain is a River not a Rock

Every Experience Changes the Brain

Neuroplasticity

“The brain has root like ends of neurons called

dendrites. Education and a mentally active life

increases the length of the dendrite by 40% and

the capacity to learn is increased.

Every Experience Changes the Brain

Give the Body a Direction To Change

Physiological change is quick, easy, and natural.

98% of the atoms are replaced over a

year.

New skin is generated once a month.

The stomach lining is new every 5 days.

The skeleton changes every 3 months.

A new liver is made every 6 weeks.
