Life Techniques by Gina Meyers

 The following life techniques can help you perform better in school, at work, at a leisure activity,

or in life.

Understand who you are versus what you do.

How, why, and what are you going to do?

It doesn’t matter if you succeed or fail.


Reducing Errors

Techniques to reduce errors.

“Failure to prepare is preparing to fail.”

Understand your equipment, what you have, how to use it.

3 Stages when errors occur

#1 Intention

How to emotionally tag information to remember it better, that what emotions do. Emotional

importance of value makes you perform higher, more optimally.

If you don’t have good intentions, it won't work out. Moral: set pure intentions and you will

reduce errors and improve your performance.

#2 Observe

By physically observing myself, by watching myself perform the tast, it will help to eliminate

human error.

#3 Verification

Make sure what we thought we intended for verification. Outcome should match your intention.

Practice this in order to make it normal for you and a reduction in errors can help.

The Human Brain

Human brain sees in images, then language.

If you can’t see it, you can’t do it.

Dream of a new possibility.


How to learn to practice in your mind can help you to motivate, earning the belief that you can

do it can create success.

What motivates you?

Brain can only think of one thing at a time.

The conscious mind can only process one thing at a time.

Most people are waiting for something.

You cannot see a new truth, you must be in the creation mode.


Our subconscious mind can do a lot in the background.

We create on lack. We see the vacation, you see that car, your brain thinks and sees what you

want. The plain of duality makes us the ability to earn our future. Whatever you want, you can

ensure this through visualization.

When you get into the habit of stop believing in themselves, that is the worst.


How do you decide what to let through to your conscious mind?

Rule of performance

Pay attention and look for what is the most important thing at any given time.

ADHD example of the brain and how it is superfast and hard to stay on task.

Super smart, they get bored easily and can’t control the flashlight, aka the information.

Focus on one thing at a time.

Focus


External


Top of the Focus is Internal

Narrow on the left broad on the right


Gauge built into our conscious. Have to build and gauge and know how much focus. If focus is

low, your performance is going to suffer.

Focus and energy, and happiness is the goal.


Focus and energy peak graph

When was at my best?

How awake was I?

Sometimes you can be overly excited and you need to calm yourself down.


Bubble

Zone

Flow

Days of struggling?

Average performance.

How do you move beyond average performance to peak performance.


You must move from and push from average to peak and you need to optimize.

Figure out your baseline and measure for improvement. You will need to create your own tools

to understanding.


Aviate

Navigate

Communicate


Discussion on stress and techniques on reducing stress and improving strength.


Focus on the peripheral. Practice with playing cards things that are out of your line of sight to

improve eye function to see peripherally.

Paths towards the best options to succeed.

Performance x X factor (outside forces) = results


In trying to get the plane to land tell yourself.

Don’t let it land.


Prepare for the unexpected.


The more you prepare for the x factor, the better chance of success.

Example of practicing car crashes with toy cars. Example of seeing what is front of you when

you are going to land.

Better balance example and how this will improve brain and cognitive abilities.

Tai Chi can help you as well.

A rocking chair can also help you with balance.

Society teaches children to focus on the wrong things towards personal success.

How can you gain confidence when overloaded?


Stress and confidence are inversely proportional.


If Stress is:


Then Confidence is:


How can you gain confidence when you are overloaded?

Since they are inversely proportional, you must implement techniques to keep stress low.

Self-talk and visualizing can help you to regain focus.

3 R’s

#1 Recognize

Gauge how stressed you are.

Recognize, organize, look at your options, for instance there is a such thing as a diminishing

triangle. Workload might be heavier, could increase stress.

BEFORE YOU MAKE A DECISION RELAX

Breathing techniques. Breath from the belly. From the diaphragm.

Drink or sip water to help you relax.

Breath Work:

Technique breathe with the belly, will help to dump that extra adrenaline, the fight or flight.

Hold your heart with your dominant hand and with your other hand, touch your belly.


By breathing this way, slowly in and out, you are breathing through the belly and your

adernerline will go down.

The parasympathetic hormone also will be calmed down.


#2 Refocus

Chose words you like.

Gina, Be calm

Gina, be smooth

Gina, focus on the here and now)

By refocusing you regain composure.


If you want to make a good decision.

Observe

Orient

Decide

Act

Evaluate


#3 Reflect

-Recognize

Reset

Reflect

Focus and reingage to what matters.

Perfection is an illusion but excellence is choice.

Jeannie Out of The Bottle

 


If you want to read something poignant, about a hard working woman, then read Barbara Eden's, Jeannie, Out of The Bottle.


I am still thinking about everything she's been through and yet she continues to persevere and to see her perspective of an American Movie Actress/ TV Actress, Singer, Dancer, and Entertainer.


A consulate professional.

Lessons Learned from Coach Wally

 


I've been a California Licensed Realtor for almost two years. In that two years, if you can imagine I have witnessed a lot of changes and a lot of volatility. I have remained steadfast to myself and my clients and in the process I have learned a great deal from the awesome workshops I have attended. Perhaps one of my greatest tools is in listening to what others want or have done and translating what I've learned into the written word.


With a plethora of pieces of paper laying around the office, I'm compiling some of what I have learned. 


Coach Wally said it's important to find:


1) Your Leads

2) Follow-up

3) Create a system for doing that.


When do you see the moving van dropping off your furniture? Welcome to my new home, do you want to have a house party?

In other words, when you are qualifying your leads, you need to help them visualize the home and them living in it if that is their intention. 


To have a client organize their day, you ask them to pick a day on the calendar.


Is the move this year, next year, winter, spring, summer, autumn, June, July, August.
