By untying your nots, you can use them to achieve your goals and improve your life.

The word “not” can activate possibility thinking – breaking up writer’s block, reenergizing brain storming sessions, sparking new and innovative thinking, and much more.

In Rapid Eye Technology (RET), the word “not” is used in very specific ways in certain processes known collectively as scramblers or colloquially as “not-nots.” A scrambler is simply a series of statements using the word “not” to confuse and break state often. The RET eye directing device (wand) is moved in specific patterns to enhance the effect. However, useful results can be obtained without the use of the wand or the movement of the eyes for those unfamiliar with RET or wishing to use these powerful processes for themselves on their own.

Obviously, you would not do the processes the same way as you would if you were in a RET session. You would also be hampered by not having a RET therapist handy to work with you. Nevertheless, the processes I’m going to describe may work well for you anyway. Try them out and see for yourself.

Every two to three hours our brains subtly shift from right dominance to left dominance and back again.

There are obvious advantages to using both hemispheres when addressing a goal or project. When both “people” in your head work together on a common goal, magical things tend to happen. The reason those magical things don’t happen more often may be because your brains are in conflict with each other. Bringing them together in a common direction may be all you need to do to get things moving in your life – moving in the direction of your goals.

Quite basically, you have one brain hemisphere that thinks in a linear fashion and is great for organization. The other is great for spatial, non-concrete thinking – creativity. To avoid total confusion, we humans will assign one brain hemisphere or the other to be dominant for any given task. Usually the dominant one is the one that was dominant the last time you did the task – not because it is better suited to the task, but purely by the luck of the draw – that was the one that happened to be dominant at that time.

That’s pretty haphazard if you ask me.

Perhaps you already know that you have two hemispheres to your cortex. Although each hemisphere seems to govern certain types of thought patterns, they communicate with each other to such a degree that it is hard to discern their separate functions. However, by taking charge of those hemispheres you can take charge of your mood, your choices, and your communications – making it easier for you to function, achieve goals, study, interact, and communicate with yourself and others.

You don’t need to be a neurosurgeon or brain specialist to take charge of your brain. Just as you don’t have to understand how a computer works to make it work for you, you can obtain substantial benefit from your brain without having to understand how it works. You just need the right “software” a program you can run. And just as with your computer’s software, which program you run and what you input into the program can make quite a difference in the output you get.

Stop reading this article, get a piece of paper and a pen, and do this exercise RIGHT NOW!

You’ve probably heard and seen them all – sure-fire ways to manifest what you want. Here’s a rather simple method that takes your ideas out of your head and gives them a head-start (so to speak) by manifesting your goals in writing first. This starting point seems to set them up for manifestation and is a lot of fun to boot.

Some years ago, Ranae Johnson, the originator of Rapid Eye Technology, kept a shoe box in which we placed such papers – like a wish list. I don’t know what happened to the box. I do know what happened to my life – it took off in the directions I wrote about – BIG TIME.

Write out what you want on a piece of paper:

Just seeing the letter “A” before an exam can significantly improve a student’s results.

Just seeing the letter “A” before an exam can significantly improve a student’s results. Contrarily, exposure to the letter “F” may make a student more likely to fail. A study by Dr Keith Ciani and Dr Ken Sheldon at the University of Missouri, found: “The letters A and F have significant meaning for students, A represents success and F, failure. We hypothesized that if students are exposed to these letters prior to an academic test it could affect their performance through non-conscious motivation.”

“Non-conscious motivation,” huh? Awesome! Do they mean to say that I (you) can be influenced by sub-conscious external motivator cues? Who’d a-thunk it?

Although the number of test subjects was small – only 131 students took part in three experiments – I like their hypothesis. The results were interesting, too.
