4/30/2014 i start watching lottery videos and affirm " i want to win the lottery i will win the lottery" and brainwave entrainment. will i still be doing it by 6/30/2014?..............
.5/5/2014. i can't really give up on the brainwave entrainment or the hypnosis. the hypnosis is more helpful then brainwaves entrainment to me cause it completely blocks the voices in my head. and that's most important to me. a few hours of peace from the voices in my head.

5/6/2014. i'm still watching lottery videos, brainwave entrainment and hypnosis audio. i can't see myself stopping this. cause the voice will always be there. just like they were in 2004 when i was in high school.

5/14/2014. haven't watched the lottery visualization or brainwave entrainment the last three days. but now i'm back to it. cause i do hear voices and that's my reason to come back to this. wanted to start writing loglines using blake snyder's teaching but i can't find a personal reason. i know if i write a great script that could start a lucritive career. but what reason do i have to do this for 3-8 years until i write that great script. i can't come with a personal reason

5/16/2014. i have been listening to theta brainwaves but i'm gonna switch up to gamma. the voices are still very loud in my head even after 1-2 hours of listening to theta.

so i promise to listen to brainwave entraiment alpha/theta or gamma and hyponis lottery winning audio and self discipline audia and also watch lottery winning visualizations. until i no longer hear voices. 5/5/2014......considering that i was hearing voice in 2004 senior year of high school and ten years later still. i think i'll still be hearing voices in 2024

5/23/2014. today i start listening to the songwriting hypnosis tape with theta brainwaves. i got to say very good. i have the songwriting books but never read them, i don't have enought reasons, but i have reasons to listen to the hypnosis tapes. i'm mentally ill. have been since high school back in 2002. still is twelve years later. so i'll always be doing trying to quiet the voices and in the process hopefully program the subconscious to write hit songs.

5/25/2014. if i'm still listening to the songwriting hypnosis in 3 or 6 months then i will go on to blake snyder's concept and character. and have the same guy do a hypnosis tape for character/concept/theme for me. so septermber-november. update 6/13/2l014. i mostly listen to songwriting. ocassionally listen to the lotter winning. i'm still waiting to get the hypnosis for screenwriting and and sketch comedy.

5/26/2014. medical students hit the books the first two years of med school before getting to do patient interaction the third year. so they program the subconscious first then the application comes the third year. little by little. do the same with songwriting/lottery hyponisis. listen to it for two years and then let the subconscious use it to apply it and win the lotto and write hit songs etc.

6/1/2014..... just after midnight the first of june. so i did the brainwave entrainment the whole month of may except for three days. things are no different with crime. same robberies and murders. black on white shootings. etc. last two days i haven't been feeling too well. hope to continue with the brainwave entrainment. maybe try delta brainwaves. so i missed three days today last month. but the last two days of may i was feeling down. so i really missed

6/15/2014.........so i finally got the mp3 for the screenplay and sketch comedy. right now. i'm really going to focus on songwriting and screenplay, but i will listen to the sketch comedy and lottery accosinally but main focus is songwriting/screenwriting.....it's 12:26 AM.

6/28/2014. in two days i'll be two months since i've been watching the lottery videos. i'm excited cause i feel i like i can just keep going and going. there's nothing else i can do. so i quiet the voices with the hypnosis and i watch the lottery visualizations. and i hope it pays off in 8-9 months. i had a vascetomy so  i can't give birth to a baby. but maybe give birth to lottery winnings and hit songs and tv shows.
today i'm going to find a good beat on youtube. i'm going to vibe with the beat and start mubling melodies to the beat. today is 4/28/2014. will i still be repeating this intention in 6/28/2014

7/2/2014 i used to listen to screenplay hypnosis audio but something tells me i should listen to lottery hypnosis audio. so from today on i'll be listening to lottery hypnosis and alternate between song and screenwriting. so one day lottery hypnosis and songwriting. next day lottery hypnosis and screenwriting. back and forth

IN THE ABSENCE OF CLEARLY DEFINED GOALS, WE BECOME STRANGELY LOYAL TO PERFORMING DAILY TRIVIA, UNTIL WE BECOME ENSLAVED BY IT.

 my trigger is the voices that i hear.........they trigger me to listen to hypnosis tapes and while i listen to hypnosis tapes i watch the lottery visualizations

Three Tiny Steps

Fogg’s research has taught him that human behavior is systematic. Each of our actions and decisions is fueled by three components—motivation, ability and triggers. Our behavior, particularly our habits, comes from an underlying motivation, the ability to complete the particular action and a stimulus that provokes the action.

For example, your morning alarm blares and you immediately turn it off and get out of bed—or you do after a couple rounds of hitting the snooze button. Getting up to start the day is your motivation, locating your alarm clock within arm’s reach creates your ability to fulfill it, and the loud, incessant beeps are the triggers, reminders to your instincts that the next action is to turn off the alarm.

The road to any desired behavior—say, increasing productivity on the weekends, making more sales calls or eating healthier—can be jump-started with three baby steps:

·         Start Small

• “Pick a small step toward your goal—a step so tiny, you’ll think it’s ridiculous,” Fogg says. Because it’s radically easy, you’re more likely to actually complete the behavior, regardless of how much or how little motivation you feel. 

·         Find an Anchor

• Choose an existing routine in your life to act as a trigger for your new behavior. Parking your car, brushing your teeth or taking a shower are all routines that can act as great anchors to trigger a new habit. “Whether you realize it or not, you have all sorts of routines,” Fogg says. “I call these anchors that you can connect to your tiny behavior. The key is to pick which routine is the right trigger for your small, simple behavior.” The blueprint for your new behavior should complete the following sentence: After I (routine), I will (tiny behavior).
• Let’s say you want to be more active. Begin small. For example when the phone rings try doing some exercise while on the phone, walk while you talk or do some squats, perhaps even some kettlebell exercises. Or after going to the bathroom do a set of pushups then immediately wash your hands.  It’s important to note that if you try to start a habit and it hurts, you’re making it too hard. It has to be something that’s not a big deal, where you just think, oh, it’s just two curls with the kettlebells. And after it’s over, be happy that you did it when you had planned to do it.

·         Celebrate Immediately

• In building a habit, it helps to reward yourself in positive ways that are as small as your tiny behaviors themselves—give yourself a thumbs-up, a smile in the mirror, or tell yourself good job! “Notice how often athletes celebrate and when they do it—immediately,” Fogg says. Not only do small celebrations reinforce desired behavior, but they design for what Fogg calls “tiny thrills.” “Our brains are very bad at distinguishing between I did this huge thing and I’m feeling awesome about it and I did this tiny thing and I’m still feeling awesome about it,” Fogg says. “Somehow in our heads we exaggerate, which is a good thing. That’s part of the hack—building success momentum, allowing you to feel successful, allowing that success to be larger than it rationally should be, then growing and leveraging that attitude into bigger things.” 

my last post was on april 11. today is july 3. so almost three months without posting.

does it work? does creating tiny habits to learn new skills work?

not for me. i'm scizophrenic. i hear voices. and what works for me is listening to hypnosis tapes to quiet the voices. but i don't just listen to hypnosis tapes for 1 hour. i listen the whole day.

i'm unemployed. got fired from my job in Russellville, Alabama.

back in Miami living with my parents. my unemployment has run out and i just stay all day listening to hypnosis tapes.

i listen to lottery hypnosis tapes...for the most part.
i listen to songwriting hypnosis and screenwriting a little.

Stop monkeying around!” My brothers, sisters, and I heard this exclaimed a lot as kids. When the 5 of us got together we created havoc, much to our parents’ chagrin. We rebelled, we mucked around; we screamed, we jumped up and down; we were an unruly bunch; we had lots of energy; we had fun. Two decades later, I am repeating a similar mantra to myself during yoga practice, in a bid to calm my equally as energetic, chatterbox of a mind. Monkey Mind is a Buddhist term which describes the persistent churn of thoughts in the undisciplined mind. In Bikram yoga, achieving a state of internal stillness during physical movement is challenging, especially when the mind is given free rein to battle with the heat, sweat, fear, boredom, that stressful situation at work, for example; all while trying to stretch the body into an asana – be it Cobra, or an elegant Standing Bow Pose. The mind monkeys around, so to speak. Or, as Bikram has been quoted as saying, "The human mind is like a drunken monkey... that's been stung by a bee..." To get some insights into the best techniques to tame the Monkey Mind, I rounded up 5 NYC based Bikram Yoga teachers, who I know and practice beside. They each agreed to share their tops tips to further help others, myself included, find ease and stillness in the yoga practice. Try them out and see if they work for you. Cammi Vance DON’T MISS THE MOMENT. The Monkey Mind is the mind separated from the body, or distracted from the moment. It is the reflexive mind ready to judge, worry, analyze, and compare everything in the moment, which is a good way to miss the moment. Therefore, you’re not only missing a chance to connect with Self, but in physical practice, you’re missing a chance to welcome healing and depth; possibly inviting injury. OBSERVE YOUR THOUGHTS. For me, one of the tricks in taming the Monkey Mind is to observe it without judgment. Something that kept getting in the way early on in my practice was thinking, “Oh, there is another thought coming into my meditation! Inappropriate! I am no good at meditating!” The Monkey Mind was judging itself! Your own body sensations can distract you from going deeper. A teacher once suggested I let the thoughts float by like clouds without attaching to them. That approach has really worked for me. I realized that it’s not a crime to experience a thought when meditating; I can just continue to work on my breath and usher the thought through. Like a child attempting to interrupt a conversation for attention: if it is not urgent, then the child can be gently and kindly acknowledged, perhaps with a hand on the shoulder, without necessarily affecting the integrity of the conversation. You can remain connected, but not attached. You can stay with your intention, in any environment. I like this quote, “The mind is a wonderful servant, but a terrible master.” ~Robin Sharma One other thing I will do, when I have trouble stilling words going through my head - I will create a simple chant in my head of '...ommmmmmm...' For me, it easily replaces all the other thoughts. Jessicah Coulston My 2 ingredients for the recipe to calm the Monkey Mind in a Bikram yoga class are conscious, proper breathing, and stillness. SYNC BREATH TO MOVEMENT. Since Bikram yoga is all about the details, you must try to breathe in and out through your nose. When you breathe through your mouth, it stimulates the body's sympathetic, or "fight or flight" nervous system. This send a message to your brain that your body is in a state of panic, which accelerates your heart rate, and sends your mind into a whirlwind of thoughts like “I'm uncomfortable, it's hot, get me out of this room..!” Most importantly, you are wasting that much-needed energy that gets you through to the end of a class. Our brains can be aware of many things at once, but by only focusing on one thing at a time - breathing in and out of your nose - you are sure to calm that Monkey Mind. BE STILL. Resist the urge to fidget and fuss in between postures. In the Standing Series, we always come back to standing with feet together, heels and toes touching, arms down by the sides, standing tall and proud, eyes open, and breathing normal. This stillness in between postures is your Savasana. On the floor, we lay in Savasana in between each posture - stillness is still the goal. By resisting the urge to itch, fix your hair, or as Bikram so eloquently puts it, "scratch your ass" (!!), you gain mental strength, and get closer toward a deep meditation. Finding absolute stillness between postures, whether you are in the Standing, or Floor Savasana, is often noted as the most challenging aspect of the entire Bikram yoga class. Once you have attained this highly cultivated stillness between the postures, you have truly become a skilled practitioner of Hatha yoga, and in my opinion, found an aspect of enlightenment. Aaron Zisman OBSERVE. JUST BE. For calming the Monkey Mind, I suggest humbling your mental perspective. Be really humble with your expectations. Don't try to compete with the person next to you, in achieving the perfect pose. Observing while actively trying to refrain from judgment is important. Observe your balance; observe the feeling of your hips in Standing Bow, but don't judge how much deeper you should go. Observe that you can go deeper, and do. Observe that those hips aren't opening any more today, and be. LISTEN TO THE TEACHER’S WORDS. Even though you've heard the same words for a posture for years, listen as if for the first time again. As you listen, consciously check off each bullet point the teacher verbalizes and actually feel it in your body. Monkey Mind is always there; he just needs something constructive to do. As long as he's in service to somebody, he behaves. Corrine Idzal TAME THE MONKEY EYES. Studies of imaging data of brain function have shown that the part of the brain responsible for visual creativity is the same part responsible for both visual attention and eye movement. In other words, when the eyes are still, so is the attention. With eyes still, you have to be aware of what they are looking at. The brain gets the majority of its sensory information from what we see, even if it defies logic. So, if you are looking at yourself in the mirror and your expression is one of panic or distress, that visual image sends the signal to the brain that there is reason for panic (fight or flight). If however, your expression is one of calm and peace, that image sends a strong sensory signal that everything is ok. Even if you are having the hardest class of your life, look as calm and peaceful as possible. It will create ‘brain confusion’ (the messages, "I’m dying here" and "It's all good," are both coming into the brain), and in most cases this will keep you from spiraling into the abyss! Sarah Yurich CLOSER TO ZEN. A Monkey Mind is a playful mind that easily and frequently gets distracted at any moment in your practice, or in your daily life. Some people may experience it more than others but I think through yoga and meditation, we can teach people how to quiet the mind at any given moment. We learn to put the monkey aside and give ourselves the zenned out inner peace our bodies and minds deserve. TWO TIPS. 1. Focus your eyes on one spot in the mirror, or the ceiling. When the eyes wander, the mind begins to wander. 2. Mantras can help with the Monkey Mind. We don't often teach it in Bikram but one of my favorites to tell a new student is, "Lock the Knee....Lock the Knee....Lock the Knee!" It works!
